As far as community goes, the Linux community (whatever that might refer to) is pretty typical of all communities, including communities that surround proprietary systems like Windows. For those that realize that communication is two-way and individual effort is required, the community is a wonderful resource of help and support. For those that approach it with impatience and demands for support without evidence of individual effort, community members respond with much less alacrity. This is true of *all* communities of all types. I think in the Windows world people don't seem to have as many community problems because most people simply aren't a part of the community--the most impatient, grumpy people seem to have enough young relatives they can coax to solve their problems for them. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
