Re: [Python-ideas] Proposal: Moratorium on Python language changes

Isn't this the same as saying it is time to produce an industry standard (as in ISO, ECMA, ANSI, IEEE) for the Python language?

If we had plenty of workforce available it might be an idea. But we have not, and fixing bugs and making improvements is a much better use of volunteer time than language lawyering, IMO.

Except for Java, only standardized languages tend to be considered for large projects.

The "except for Java" statement makes me think that standardization isn't a real criterion here. Stability may be, however. Antoine.
