[Python-Dev] windows installer and python list mention
Apparently the Windows installer mentions asking for help on Python List. If accessing Python List directly via email it is necessary to subscribe first -- perhaps that could be mentioned? Bonus Python Points for mentioning the other methods that do not require subscribing. :) Rejection text sent to non-subscribers follows: "Hello! I see you want to post a message to the Python List. We would be happy to help, but you must subscribe first: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list After you have subscribed, please send your message again. Alternatively, this list is mirrored both ways with the comp.lang.python newsgroup (news:comp.lang.python). Some people find it easier to follow this and other lists via gmane (http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.general), a service which offers a newsgroup interface to many online mailing lists. *NB all posts to the mailing list are publicly archived at:* https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list " Any questions or comments should be directed to the list administrator at: [email protected] --- -- ~Ethan~ ___ Python-Dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com

Also, gmane has been dead for a few months (that link just says "Page Not Found") and its future is uncertain, so this bit isn't terribly helpful either... -n -- Nathaniel J.

Re: [Python-Dev] I will be deleting the cpython-mirror repo on April 10
I've now gone ahead and deleted the cpython-mirror repo as scheduled. Happy two month anniversary on the new workflow. :) On Mon, 27 Mar 2017 at 15:39 Victor Stinner wrote: > Oops, thanks for the reminder!

The web interface does indeed seem to have been removed. Even news.gmane.org returns the same. The nntp interface remains for the present, as I still use it daily. (The headers of this message should indicate such.) If the nntp interface were to be taken down, I would like PSF to add news.python.org to continue the python mirrors. -- Terry Jan Reedy ___ Python-Dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com

What am I reading this on, Scotch mist? Of course people should be pointed to the Windows list at gmane.comp.python.windows but that will not stop them asking the same moronic question that has been asked repeatedly for the last 16 months, "I get api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll is missing, what do I do about it?". Haven't they heard of search engines? -- My fellow Pythonistas, ask not what our language can do for you, ask what you can do for our language.

People actually read some of that text in the installer :) Currently the installer has the following message after you run a Repair (from Tools/msi/bundle/Default.wxl): > Feel free to email href="mailto:[email protected]";>[email protected] if you continue to encounter issues. And this message after you uninstall: > Feel free to email href="mailto:[email protected]";>[email protected] if you encountered problems. If accessing Python List directly via email it is necessary to subscribe first -- perhaps that could be mentioned? Bonus Python Points for mentioning the other methods that do not require subscribing. :) I wasn't aware of this - I'm sure I've emailed the list before without it being rejected, and I'm certainly not subscribed. Is it a recent change? Is it necessary? I'd be happy to change these to point somewhere else, but the challenge here is the installers are permanent - whatever we put in this message can never change. Given this thread immediately entered uncertainty about what other methods are actually working, I don't want to link to any of them :) Cheers, Steve ___ Python-Dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
