Last time when I commented on "harsh" notices sent in reply to inappropriate requests to python-dev, I couldn't find an example. Neal provided a mild one:
You should try asking on the comp.lang.python newsgroup or file a bug report on SourceForge. Your request is not appropriate for python-dev.
Maybe it would have been more friendly to say "Sorry, there's nobody here on python-dev who can help you with that; maybe you'll have more luck on comp.lang.python." (For these kind of requests, I expect SF won't help much.) --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)
