New submission from 25.45 <resis...@mailinator.com>:
It has come to my attention that CPython's source code contains problematic ableist/saneist terms and/or pejoratives, namely sanity check 144 silly 26 insane 13 crazy 13 stupid 6 lame 2 lunatic 1 Some of those slipped into the documentation. In an attempt to make Python community more inclusive and welcoming, we should clean up these usages and replace them with something neutral (where applicable). Unfortunately, to this day many developers deem such efforts as "trolling", so please note that the precedent has already been set by many major projects. Here're just a few: https://github.com/unpkg/unpkg.com/pull/81 https://github.com/reduxjs/redux/pull/2335 https://github.com/rtfd/readthedocs.org/pull/3752 https://github.com/krzysztofzablocki/Sourcery/issues/2 https://github.com/google/xi-editor/pull/126 Other resources: https://english.stackexchange.com/q/282282 http://isthisableism.tumblr.com/sluralternatives The goal of this issue is not to stir up arguments, but to figure out the alternatives and ways to replace those problematic terms. ---------- messages: 325260 nosy: 25.45 priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Remove ableist terms and pejoratives from source code and docs versions: Python 3.8 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue34660> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
