this answer do not fit in most questions.
please review them again.
Against my better judgement, I have.
It certainly fits a, b, and c. It also fits d if you place an implicit "Yes, " in front of the answer. 4/6. I stick with my assessment.
If this is important to you, you need to step up yourself and get it done and not expect other people to volunteer their unpaid time to satisfy your whims.
The open source Python community is driven by volunteerism, not a sense of entitlement. If this does not appeal to you, then perhaps the Python community is not the right one for you.
I ask some questions and suggest some things.
Voluntarlily and without beeing paid.
Questions and suggestions are don't count for much in this community. Code and well-written patches do.
Stop wasting time on c.l.py and get to work! If you can't do that, then this is not the community you are looking for.
There are many commercial systems around python.
And yet there is not one company that has someone devoted full-time to developing Python. Not even Guido. Most of core-Python development happens in people's spare, unpaid time.
Volunteerism is the core of this community. Trust me.
So please stop this volunteerism-stuff.
No. You are asking others to volunteer their time, or perhaps, alternately, the PSF and other businesses to volunteer their money to fund people's time to satisfy *your* wants. I am asking you to volunteer *your* time to satisfy *your* wants, or alternately, stop writing questionnaires and bothering us.
Note that this reaction is pretty specific to you and not to other newcomers. Most newcomers do not carry around a sense of entitlement that could flatten a small village. Thus, they are treated with respect and helpfulness. We would appreciate it if you would emulate these people. On a purely pragmatic note, you have to admit that they are getting much better help than you are.
If you like to help me and other newcomers, please give me simple some answers on the initial questions.
I did provide some answers. Please review them again.
