Hello James, Whist your post was a bit abrasive i know you are a good person so that is why i am replying. > It would be nice for once to see you get off your > lazy "butt" and actually do something rather than > continually "rant" at us. Most of us (myself included) > simply use Python in our day jobs or as a hobby. I am working James, very hard a work as a matter of fact. I am planting seeds, seeds for change. But as we know seeds need to be sown and many bitter winters are keeping these seed from budding into healthy saplings. In my dream of dreams i see a completely re-written IDLE, something this community can be proud of, something that young Python programmers can look to for guidance and knowledge. Unfortunatly this "something" should have been done long ago but the will is not there. However no project will ever get "will" unless the parties start working togehter without prejudices. And this prejudiced is coming directly from the top tiers of this community. ALL THE WAY TO THE TOP... james. > Not once have I seen you actually "do something": > 1) Write a patch I have wrote patches, many of them.

There is nothing "indirect" about my statements Mr Mills. They are meant for a few trouble makers and these trouble makers know who they are. > Whilst I agree that there are some folk who "might" > be guilty of egotist / arrogant attitudes there isn't > much anyone can do abou that - that's just part of > life and part of social interaction(s). Get over it. No, ignoring a problem does not make it go away. We must fight relentlessly against the infiltration of selfishness into our beloved community. Just think what would have happend if the world ignored that little fiery piss ant from Austria with the excessive nose hairs. > For the most part - the Python Community as a whole > is very helpful, positive and has a lot of nice thinigs about it > (not just the language). Well then let us challenge this community. A pepsi challenge if you will. Who will help me solve the problem that currently plagues my Tkinter code? Anyone... i thought so. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
