I don't see how it would be any more off-topic than your original query. Which is to say, talking about Python's use of the console (beit a Win32 Console API window, a terminal emulator, or a PyCharm window) is on-topic. > I also prefer a loosely controlled list, and a freewheeling list is > ideal, but it only works well if people exercise basic politeness and > common sense. I agree. Be aware that your own posts in this thread have bordered on inflammatory on occasion. Certainly your remark about "any educated person would know that" could be taken in a very negative way. I can't remember everything I read in this thread, but I'm hard-pressed to find examples where people were not polite to you, even though you pressed on with certain lines of comment, especially when it was pointed out that your question came from the wrong premise and idea of what the "console" is. I don't believe that someone pointing out flaws in your understanding is inherently rude, though I think you took it as such. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
