[Python-ideas] A python bridge between versions

[ian o]

Chris,

First the idea has to be accepted as desirable, then feasible with an 
agreed specification. All to no avail unless someone can then implement it.

I would volunteer to assist but i assume there have to be enough others to 
volunteer as well if it was any help.

But there is no intent to tell people to do something.  There has to be 
sufficient enthusiasm for anyone involved to actually want to do it.

But I have been told that those who would benefit are people that there is 
no desire to help.  My suggestion that it would also be helpful to people 
there is a desire to help seems to have been met with the response 'we do 
not want to hear this'.

I guess I expected a more open community.  I have learned a lot, but not 
what I expected.  I am still not sure what the criteria is to actually be 
welcome here.

I have very much appreciated your comments though.

Ian
