On the sorts of places that take these sorts of fine distinctions seriously, your post would be considered Meta rather than Off-topic. That is: - posts about the main topic (here, that would be Python) are on-topic; - posts about posting are meta; - everything else is off-topic. We have a reasonable tolerance to off-topic discussions, particularly if they evolve naturally from an on-topic one. -- Steven -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
