[Python-Dev] How far to go with user-friendliness

[Steve Dower]

Dear Python-dev

Nobody who cares is reading this thread any more - I'm guessing Guido silenced it within the first 10 emails and so has almost everyone else. All you're doing is exposing your own inabilities to understand the issue (there are not now, have never been, and never will be, methods starting with 'assret'!) and upsetting active, potential and former ( :( ) contributors.

Just stop replying. *Especially* if you don't understand the issue and/or are not offering to fix it yourself (and if you do/are, take it to the tracker).

Thanks,
Python-dev
