[issue15437] Merge Doc/ACKS.txt names into Misc/ACKS

Martin v. Löwis added the comment: I don't think the docs should display Misc/ACKS. Instead, I propose the following wording "Many people have contributed to the Python language, the Python standard library, and the Python documentation. See Misc/ACKS in the Python source distribution for a

Chris Jerdonek added the comment: Yes, I did. Even though it is throw-away. By the way, I'm taking Antoine's advice to avoid perfectionism on this. Otherwise I'd include your suggestion re: the special characters. :) -- ___ Python tracker

Martin v. Löwis added the comment: Also, if you want to do phonetic translation of non-ASCII, then абгекнор really matches abgeknor, and ш is transliterated to "sh" in English (IIUC) (to "sch" in German). But I agree that this is best done manually. What matters is what the script produces;

Chris Jerdonek added the comment: That is correct, Antoine. Duplicates need to be removed by hand. To assist in this process, the script currently prints "possible duplicates" to stdout after running. However, the script could easily be modified to display an in-line indicator before possib

[issue15437] Merge Doc/ACKS.txt names into Misc/ACKS

Chris Jerdonek added the comment: I did think through those issues and made a special effort to address them in the script. For starters, the script does not change the order of any names in Misc/ACKS. This is to preserve the existing rough alphabetical ordering, and to ensure that the diff

Antoine Pitrou added the comment: Well, the script output looks good (apart from a few duplicates which can be resolved by hand, e.g. "Terry Reedy" vs. "Terry J. Reedy"). -- ___ Python tracker ___

[issue15437] Merge Doc/ACKS.txt names into Misc/ACKS

R. David Murray added the comment: I'm not clear if your script is trying to do this, but there is no way to automatically alphabetize the file. That's why it says "rough" alphabetic order. The issue is that different languages alphabetize different letters in different places. We try to r

Chris Jerdonek added the comment: I created a new issue 15439 for including the combined Misc/ACKS into the documentation (as Éric mentioned) because the nature of that discussion is different, and because the changes will be easier to observe and understand if committed separately.
