Sorry if I sounded like 'attacking' you. I certainly had no such intention, as I believe nobody on this list. Sorry if I sound cranky but I got that impression from the responses here (which are greatly different from the responses I got on other communication channels and by peers). You were just the unlucky mail I responded to :-)

But if you'd just stuck to the point, without touching very controversial topics of what version of python is a good choice and what is a bad, with full review of all porting scenarios with well-thought set of benchmarks, nobody would ever call your PEP "polemic". I tried my best but obviously it was not good enough to please everybody. In all honesty I did not expect that such a small change would spawn such a great discussion. After all what we're discussing here is the introduction of one letter to literals :-)

Regards, Armin
