I would LOVE to improve the doc, however first the student THEN the teacher. However in this forsaken land the "teachers" do not exist. We are cast off from the elites and left to wither, wandering in dark catacombs of source code with many doors but no keys to unlock them. > I weep that your delightful rhetoric is limited to this neglected forum, > where the guardians of python core deign not to tread, and hence denied > its rightful place exalted among python's canonical lore. I share your anguish. The "elites" have hidden themselves behind an impenetrable wall called python-dev. They wish not to speak with the peasants. However they "somehow" find the time to hurl insults though alternate personalities. They so not have the fortitude to face me in open battle on the fields of righteousness. How can they sit up there and look at the tkinter package and keep a strait face? What an abomination it has become. Anyone who is even a mediocre professional programmer would look at such code and quickly discredit the whole community as a bunch of amateurs. Q1: Why are we allowing this code to exist? Q2: Why is no one beside myself speaking out? Q3: Were is the chairman of PSF Steve Holden on these pressing matters? Q4: Where is Guido van Rossum for crying out loud? When is he going to address this issue in public OUTSIDE the safety and comfort of python- dev? Come and face me Guido. Surely i am not too scary for you? Answer for these crimes Guido and then you will be forgiven. Then we can move on. Then we can be a real community again. We need you to get involved on a more personal level with our community members. I want to see you shaking hands and kissing babies. Show your face and let the light illuminate even the darkest corners of c.l.p. Free your conscience of these past atrocities... "For the meek shall inherit and the wicked be cast into oblivion". Trolls, your days are numbered! Mr. Van Rossum I look forward to your cooperation and would be delighted to hear any ideas you may have. --rr -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
