Hi Chris,
Nice to see you on the list.

Well, the first comment is that this isn't really the best list to ask such
questions on, since it was created for the Python developers to discuss the
development of the language and its implementation. Further, such
discussions nowadays take place on discuss.python.org, and you can find
more info
I don't remember it being mentioned, but much of the traffic recently
migrated from this list to https://discuss.python.org/c/core-dev/23, which
you may wish to keep in touch with.

Not defining the semantics of annotations was a brave move, but

I understood that _iterables_ are required to have an __iter__ method, not
iterators.
Therefore, are we simply discussing whether all iterators should be

While I understand the point of view that says that match ... :

While these are interesting ideas, wouldn't it be better to leave this kind
of packaging to snap and similar utilities that bundle the language support
and libraries to allow simple isolated installation.
Kind regards

Like everyone else, I am sorry to hear this news, and extend my sympathies.
It's marvellous that you are still able to work on Python at all, still.
Since you have to be careful not to do too much, you will just have to
choose your battles carefully. Thank you for your many contributions to
Python
be even more strident when a library module is a
basic version, not to be used for production purposes.
This inevitably means, however, that there will be lag in the
documentation, which generally speaking lags current best practices.

Following the debate with interest, but mostly lurking due to my usual

It's not obvious how much of the developer documentation you've seen, so it
might be worth mentioning https://devguide.python.org/ as a good starting
point for anyone
