But you're making the problem worse for other people too. For example, I can't file a bug against your code or send you a pull request, without enrolling in Github myself. You can get a whole virtual server from Amazon for free that is perfectly good for hosting git repos and lots of other things too, or you can get them for a few dollars a year in other places if you don't want to deal with Amazon. Github adds some conveniences but I've never understood the attraction and mystique around it. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
