[issue6839] zipfile can't extract file
Gentlemen, I'd like to politely ask for a second pair of eyes on [issue6839]. It's been dragging for a very long time, and the fix is really a change from a raise() to a debugging print. Thanks in advance, Adam Polkosnik

Thanks for contributing to Python! But not everyone on this list is a guy.
And not all of the guys are gentlemen :-) The term I sometimes use is "gentlefolks", or even just "folks". "Ladies and gentlemen" is just too old-fashioned and formal. "Folks" is nicely informal and all-inclusive, regardless of sex or class we're all just folks. -- Steven

And I thought "guys" could be used to address mixed-gender groups (I'm pretty sure I've heard some "ladies" use it in this setting), but I'm not a native speaker. The idea being that one should not infer too much from a salutation from someone who might not be a native speaker (some languages default to masculine for a mixed audience), although in this case "Ladies and gentlemen" is really famous. In any case, I'm sure he'd like to have his code reviewed by someone, regardless of its gender!

That was a fast reply (< 2min -> Ain't you playing with bots searching for the "Gentlemen" word?). Just a joke ;-) Regards, francis

When people are defending their right to be included is probably not a great time to make jokes about them not being human. Tacking a smiley face on the end just gives the impression that you realize that your words will come off as aggressive and are trying to preemptively make sure that if anyone tries to hold you responsible for this then you can claim that it's their fault for not having a sense of humor. Trying to further defend this position is just going to dig you in deeper, so let's drop the discussion here. -n
