I can only compare to the R language I've used. If there is an issue, say a function freezes at startup, one user brings it up to the list, when the respective maintainer sees the bug, it is usually addressed on the next release.
In terms of funding. Isn't Python heavily used in industry, so, financial contribution should've been huge, no? ________________________________ From: Tutor <tutor-bounces+tmrsg11=gmail....@python.org> on behalf of Steven D'Aprano <st...@pearwood.info> Sent: Friday, June 15, 2018 8:33:54 PM To: tutor@python.org Subject: Re: [Tutor] In matplotlib, why are there axes classes vs. axes API?

If volunteers don't "fix the problem", who is paying for the work to be done? Are you volunteering? Or willing to pay somebody to do the work? $30,000 - $50,000 would probably pay for one developer to work on mathplotlib full time for three months. Or maybe the developers don't think it is a problem that needs fixing. Maybe they're happy with it the way it is. Or they don't like it any more than you do, but they are constrained by the need to keep backwards compatibility. -- Steve _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
