Hi everyone, My small effort to create a place for discussing Python seems to have sparked a larger discussion than I had anticipated. My intent in creating Pyfora is not to splinter the community or encroach upon comp.lang.python users, but to create an alternative location where users can discuss Python. If this offends or irritates anyone, please accept my humble apologies. I understand that forums can be degenerate and uncivil, but my hope is that with Pyfora, beginners will have a place to freely ask questions in a genial environment. A large part of my computer upbringing was on forums, and I wanted to share that experience with new Python users. Sincerely, Saketh -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
