On the sorts of places that take these sorts of fine distinctions seriously,
your post would be considered Meta rather than Off-topic. That is:
- posts about the main topic (here, that would be Python) are on-topic;
- posts about posting are meta;
- everything else is off-topic.
We have a reasonable tolerance to off-topic discussions, particularly if
they evolve naturally from an on-topic one.
