Hi Marko,

Regarding switching over to GitHub issues:

* I copy-pasted the MockP original code to GitHub issues.

* There's a clunky way to view the discussion at https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-ideas/2018-September/subject.html#start.

* The less clunky way to view the discussion is to subscribe to the mailing list and use Gmail to move all the messages from python-ideas to python ideas list and all the messages from the discussions we have to a "contracts" label and view the discussion with your email client.

* A week earlier I didn't think I'd be saying this, but I like email for discussion better. It works on mobile and I can send messages offline, and I send 90% of my messages on my phone and when I'm offline. Unless you know an alternative (WhatsApp, maybe?) that fits my use cases off the top of your head, I think we should stick to email.

* My proposal: We split the discussion into a new email thread, we keep the latest agreed upon proposal on GitHub issues.

Hi James,
(I'm just about to go to sleep, so I'll answer the other messages tomorrow.)

Should we keep some kind of document to keep track of all the different proposals? I’m thinking an editable document like HackMD where we can label all the different ideas to keep them straight in our head.

I thought github issues would be a suitable place for that: https://github.com/Parquery/icontract/issues

It reads a bit easier as a discussion rather than a single document -- if anybody else needs to follow. What do you think?

Hi Marko,

Going back to your proposal on repeating lambda P as a convention.

I do find

@snapshot(some_identifier=P -> P.self(P.arg1),
some_identifier2=P -> P.arg1 + P.arg2)

acceptable.
