The fact of the matter is that you need (at least) two things to get something new into Python:
1) a good idea that folks will support 2) A "champion" -- someone to keep the conversation going, maybe write a PEP, etc. No matter how great an idea is, it takes a lot of work to get it to a consensus and get it done. For this idea, no one has stepped up to that role, so it petered out -- which is not uncommon on this list. -CHB On Mon, Aug 17, 2020 at 3:49 AM Chris Angelico <[email protected]> wrote: > On Mon, Aug 17, 2020 at 7:16 PM Steven D'Aprano <[email protected]> > wrote: > > > > On Mon, Aug 17, 2020 at 10:46:58AM +0200, Marco Sulla wrote: > > > Well, "up" it's used in forums to draw attention :) > > > > My ex-boss used to do the same thing except he would use "ping" to get > > attention. > > > > But in his case he would quote his previous (unanswered) question, so > > that we would at least know the context of the ping. > > And when someone's your boss, he can reasonably expect/demand an > answer, so a context-free "ping" really means "hey guys, you didn't > get around to this, and it's important to your jobs".
