No thanks!"
That is a perfectly reasonable statement. Forgive me if I underestimated the difficulty of implementing the feature I suggested, but I still don't think it would be difficult for the code maintainers to implement. They are obviously familiar with the code, but I'm not! > and a couple of other posts with a similar tone. open source developers > tend to ignore people who use the "you're just a bunch of code monkeys" > intimidation approach, especially when combined with an undertone of > "what I'm proposing should be easy, and if it isn't, that's because > you're incompetent". claiming to talk for everyone else doesn't really > help, either. Boy, some of you guys seem to have a very low self esteem, reading insults where none exist. "Just a bunch of code monkeys"?!! Where in the friggin' world did I say anything remotely resembling that? I happen to be a proud "code monkey" myself, for crying out loud! And excuuuuuuuuuuuuuse me for suggesting a minor new feature to enhance the productivity of Python without implementing it myself!
