Perspective from a minor Python contributor: The only thing worse than email or Discourse is email AND Discourse. Fragmented communities are a nightmare. I don't want to post to multiple places in order to reach the devs. Its hard enough to build consensus already. The relative strengths of email

[Python-Dev] Request for feedback: pathlib.AbstractPath prototype

Over the last couple of years I've been tidying up the pathlib internals, with a view towards adding an AbstractPath class to the hierarchy. Users would be able to subclass AbstractPath to implement other kinds of filesystems: s3, google cloud storage, pandas, ftp, git, zip and tar files, etc. By i

[Python-Dev] Re: name for new Enum decorator

+1 on 'complete'. If 'enum.unique()' means 'every value has at most one name', then perhaps `enum.complete()` can mean 'every value has at least one name'? Or is that not accurate? Other suggestions: 'occupied', 'full', 'exhaustive'. Barney On Mon, 31 May 2021 at 00:02, Jeff Allen wrote: > On

Hi Anthony, It looks like you’ve incorporated several other changes into your commit by mistake. The simplest thing to do might be to re-create your git branch and PR from scratch. If conflicting changes land while your PR is still open, you’ll need to do something called a “rebase”. The git book

[Python-Dev] Re: PEP 616 -- String methods to remove prefixes and suffixes

My 2c on the naming: 'start' and 'end' in 'startswith' and 'endswith' are verbs, whereas we're looking for a noun if we want to cut/strip/trim a string. You can use 'start' and 'end' as nouns for this case but 'prefix' and 'suffix' seems a more obvious choice in English to me. Pathlib has `with_s

[Python-Dev] pathlib.Path: inconsistent symlink_to() and link_to()

Hi, Pathlib's symlink_to() and link_to() methods have different argument orders, so: a.symlink_to(b) # Creates a symlink from A to B a.link_to(b) # Creates a hard link from B to A I don't think link_to() was intended to be implemented this way, as the docs say "Create a hard link point
