Because that way, we won't be annoying the people who don't care about concurrency with an off-topic discussion. If you're interested in concurrency in Python, you should be reading that list. Given the amount of discussion here, I was surprised at how quite that list was. I suspect many of those here didn't know about it, and set about to correct that. Most of this discussion should be there, and then when that SIG has thrashed out a proposal for a change, it can be brought back here. http://www.mired.org/ Independent Software developer/SCM consultant, email for more information.

Sturla That list is dead because no one posts to it with good ideas and brainstorming, or to discuss issues like this, not because it's dead. Do I need to put up a signpost that says "Oh god please come discuss patches and the like"?

It's the right place to discuss these things: concurrency-sig: Discussion of concurrency issues in python. and presumably you won't be e-mailing as many people who *aren't* interested in concurrency. Python-ideas is rapidly becoming the *wrong* place for this discussion: Python-ideas: This list is to contain discussion of speculative language ideas for Python for possible inclusion into the language. If an idea gains traction it can then be discussed and honed to the point of becoming a solid proposal to put to either python-dev or python-3000 as appropriate. So, whether or not it was the right place to begin with, could you please move it to concurrency-sig? thanks, --titus (moderator) -- C. Titus Brown, ctb@msu.edu

How many mailing lists do I need to sign up to to make sure Im not missing something I might be intersted in.

Hmm. Stimulating people to express what they believe the major hurdles to uptake of use of the language are, discuss their solutions. 100 mails in 4 days is light traffic afaik. But im fairly new to this, so ill bow out. Still, I thought it was itneresting and informative discussion with lots of specific information. Where would you suggest discussion should have taken place? -- Be prepared to have your predictions come true

lol why, then, are people with experience on the lists using this as a space to express themselves?

Hey, Sturla, Mike and other people who clearly know what they are talking about and this ecosystem, why are we using this space for this discussion? Felt all kind of warm and fuzzy and community like to me. On 13 February 2012 15:01, Antoine Pitrou wrote:

Please move any further discussion of both concurrency and how or where to discuss concurrency issues to concurrency-sig. Further discussion will be moderated. thanks all, --titus On Mon, Feb 13, 2012 at 05:15:29PM +0200, anatoly techtonik wrote:

Are you kidding?

The idiotic "TIOBE -3%" discussion thread is probably in the hundred of answers now. That's for a completely vacuous thread launched 4 days ago by a well-known troll.

Well-known troll is +1 that proposal to write to an empty list sounds like "you're not welcome here with your multiprocessing". I guess you didn't mention that, so the problem probably that you can not handle the list traffic, and read all interesting Python ideas - not speaking about answering to all of them with your opinion. No problem with that either - nobody can. That's why there was proposal about Etherpad, which summaries would be as interesting for Python community as different blog posts from core devs.

python-ideas is not a playground for people with an opinion.

...

It's a communication tool for core development.

Since many of (potential) core devs are not able to cope up with traffic in main lists, I'd propose to look for a better communication tool that at least allows easy selective subscription (like Google Groups) and makes sure interested parties have accessible instrument (for a reference to accessibility read Steve Yegge's rant at https://plus.google.com/112678702228711889851/posts/eVeouesvaVX) to subscribe and participate (search, tree with all mailing lists and one-button subscription). I've heard Pinax guys are rethinking their Tribes/Groups feature - https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/pinax-users/Wze7L2LlwjM- perhaps you should communicate with them.

Thanks

P.S. I am not changing the subject of this thread to stop spawning another "completely vacuous thread". P.P.S. Too bad I can not be at PyCon this year. -- anatoly t.
