Fly back at me if you like. I don't care about me. I don't care about you. I do care about Python. Well, you should care about people. Free software is as much as about building welcoming communities than it is about writing good software. Regards Antoine. Do you build welcoming communities by ignoring posts for ten years? No, you don't, and the current discussion about how to ensure that bug reporters get at least the courtesy of a relatively quick reply is one of the most promising developments in building a welcoming community that I can remember.

I realise that some people are happier focusing purely on technical issues, and that's fine. But let's not let that stop us trying to build a crew of ambassadors to take care of the more touchy-feely side of things as long as it operates to the language's ultimate benefit.

It takes all sorts to make a world ...
