Actually I like the logic behind 2.8.

"We've only had eight years to port our code to Python 3.  That's not 
been long enough.  So to work around the situation we'll throw all of 
our miniscule resources into forking Python to solve all of the problems 
that Python has created for us".

The idea that forking and maintaining Python 2.8 is somehow _less 
effort_ than porting code to Python 3.x is batshit crazy. The Py2.8 
claims seem to me to be nothing more than a shallow attempt to blackmail 
the core devs.

Probably.

I'd say that if anything kills Python, it'll be the people who are
afraid of a small dose of positive change.

IMO, it's not even a credible "threat".  It's more like idle whinging
from people whom if given a brand new free BMW with lifetime
maintenance, gasoline, insurance, taxes and registration paid (and a
garage to keep it in) would bitch about the color of the interior.

Let 'em. If you believe evolution is such a good thing, you're most
welcome to arrange it. Personally, I believe that *guided development*
is a good thing, and whaddayaknow, that's exactly what we have here
from GvR and from the python-dev team. Proper development of a large
or small project requires an intelligent person with a hand on the
tiller, not randomly undirected additions (or, perhaps not
"undirected" so much as "directed by every single whining mailing list
post" - which is the same thing, really); someone needs to decide
which ideas are good and which are bad. Undirected evolution is
destructive. Directed cultivation is constructive.

Where did I say anything about a spike in bug reports?  There are a 
large number of open reports, but a backlog built up as the core 
developers were at one point having to commit changes to five different 
versions.  Design work is being done to simplify this process and hence 
free up core developers' time.  It will take time but in a year or three 
I expect to see the number of open bugs dropping considerably.

Wrong, e.g. there were far more bug reports about encode or decode 
errors in Python 2 than we (the Python community) see for Python 3.

Oh Really?

I call bullshit. Name names. Name projects.

If they are "shopping" for a scripting language, that means they don't 
have one yet. Which means their users have no existing scripts that need 
to be ported from Python 2 to 3. Whatever language is chosen, whether it 
is Ruby, Lua, Python 3 or something else, its all equally as new.

Sometimes, when we become proficient in an area of
expertise, we forget about all the stumbling blocks that
impede the neophytes -- which explains your befuddlement!

Even though i will freely admit that Python is the easiest
language to learn (IMHO), and more so because GvR did not
allow TIM-TOWDI to run rampant, Python2 already had many
stumbling blocks (new classes vs old classes crap!), but
Python3 exacerbated the problem by interjecting many, *MANY*
more stumbling blocks!

You and i don't use "print", and especially not "input" all
that much, but both of these (types of) functions are
*VITAL* lifelines for the noob when learning a language!

Not to mention the issues of looking at the wrong "version"
of a tutorial when using the "other" version of Python.
Again, you and i won't make these mistakes, but a noob will!

Look, Python has gone from: 
    "A noob friendly language"
    
to:
    "A Noobie subtle bug hell!". 
    
And since not all APIs are intended for "professional
programmers", choosing a language that is easy to learn, but
also, not "overly confusing" and "easy to misuse", is vital!

You cannot expect, say: "audio and video" people, to be
"professional programmers" -- who know all the "do's" and
"don'ts" of a dozen or so different languages and have
degrees in computer science and extensive knowledge of
algorithmic and logic theories!

They are just people who need to automate this or that task,
or create a functionality that does not exist via the GUI
interface, and as such, they should *NOT* need to be
burdened with the pitfalls of a backwards compatibility and
fractured community nightmare!

    NO THANKS PYTHON, WE WANT OUR USERS TO BE "PRODUCTIVE"!

For non-informatic students (i.e the vast majority of 
science/engineering students) I don't think that's true. Less general 
languages like Matlab appear much easier to me: unified doc, unified 
IDE, unified debugger, you can spend years without being confronted to 
what an "object" is, etc.

Some argue that making print() working like all other python functions 
make it more consistent. Here for example:

It happened to me quite often that interesting tutorials where available 
in py2 only, despite the fact that all the concerned libraries were 
ported to py3 long ago.
But on the other hand, this is not python specific. Forums keep track of 
all questions/answers and some very old threads remain highly visible in 
the search results, making new users reinvent the wheel all the time. 
Everyone should be able to decide if the information found on blogs, 
forums or even newspapers is up-to-date or not.

That's always going to be true. If you have mathematical experience,
you'll be much more comfortable with a math-specific setup than with a
general programming environment. But for general programming, the IDE
isn't that much help, and the math-specific language is going to get
in the way. This is why there are so many different environments to
choose from; if you want something that makes it really easy to put a
Windows GUI program together, you probably grab one of the Microsoft
tools, but if you want something that lets you run your program on any
platform and still have a usable GUI, you want something
cross-platform (tkinter, GTK, wx, Qt). This is not a problem with
Python; it's simply how the world works.

I'll agree that the lack of a "quality" IDE in Python is a
point of inadequacy. Sure, IDLE is not *useless*, however, it
is in fact woefully inadequate and should be embarrassing to
the whole community, both in it's buggy-ness and it's poorly
written source code.

I would love to see IDLE become a bit more "polished",
because, i believe that even though the software is outdated
and poorly structured , a simplistic *INTEGRATED* IDE can
be very helpful for new Python programmers who have no prior
programming experience.

Sadly, all of my calls to improve IDLE have been meet with
rebukes about me "whining". The "powers that be" would wise
to *UTILIZE* and *ENCOURAGE* my participation instead of
*IGNORING* valuable talent and *IMPEDING* the expansion of
this "private boys club".

I believe one could eaisly ignore the OOP aspects of Pyhton
for as long as they wished, maybe even forever? Python is a
multi-paridigm language, and i'm quite happy with that fact

> Some argue that making print() work like all other

Yes, and i agree! Print should have been a function from day
one, however, i am not lamenting the "evolution" of "print",
i am merely lamenting the confusion induced from backwards
incompatibility between "new print" and "old print".

Really? Even noobies?

The internet is a double edged sword (when used to learn any
language) because although there is a vast wealth of
information out there for just about any question a noob
might have, if he does not phrase his google queries "just
so", he is doomed to read information that is at beast
confusing, and at worse just flat out lies.

I wish "we", as members of internet communities, had some
control over the vast amount of information lying around in
the darkest corners of the web. Because, we cannot rely
*solely* on our "official" tutorials to answer every
question a noob may have. And since we cannot control the
content of private sites, blogs, groups, etc..., our only
remedy is some sort of "official filtered search engine"
that will hide the outdated information, and expose only the
most relevant and updated information for the version
requested.

A database where pythonistas can categorize and "up vote" or
"down vote" the value of each piece of information. A sort
of "Stack Overflow" of the entire set of Python related
information violable on the web.

Of course it would need to utilize some heavy crowd
sourcing, but i believe something like this would be both
beneficial and feasible.

Do you write patches, or just say "This is terrible. Aorta do summing
about it."? [1] If you want something done, the best way is to do it.
Simply telling someone else what to do is not "participation" which
should be "encourage[d]", but is indeed likely to be whining.

Oh, and when you talk about it like this, you make everyone absolutely
sure that it really IS just whining.

This is beneath trolling. Redeem yourself by apologizing.

Apologize for what? 

For telling the truth? 

I have been using IDLE since around 2006, well at least,
that is as far back as i remember. When i first learned
Python, IDLE was my editor of choice, and i *STILL* use IDLE
to this very day! -- although not as much as i have written
my own IDE.

I have logged thousands upon thousands of hours with IDLE,
how many hours have *YOU* logged?

I would even venture to say, and the comments on this list
have supported my evidence for years, that i may be the
*SOLE* heavy user of IDLE in the *ENTIRE* community.
Although, i need to compare my stats with Terry because he
claims to use the software quite often also.

If *ANYBODY* in this damn community has a *RIGHT* to
complain about IDLE, then *I* am that person. HOW DARE YOU
chastise me for voicing my grievances regarding a
software that *YOU* most likely have *NEVER*, or only 
*SLIGHTLY*, used!

Even if it is true that you're the only *user* of IDLE (or Idle; Terry
seems to spell it the latter way, I'm not sure what's the official
recommendation now), that does not give you any right whatsoever to
complain about it. There are two valid reasons for claiming a right to
complain:

1) You are the primary *developer* of the system, and put in many
hours of work actually making it happen; or
2) You have paid money to someone, paying them a reasonable hourly
rate for the same sort of level of work.

So I would say Terry has a right to complain. I certainly don't, even
though it's my primary Windows Python interface (on Linux boxes, I
usually use 'python' or 'python3' in a regular xfce4-terminal; I do
use IDLE on Linux as well, but not as often and certainly not as my
primary interface to Python). To me, IDLE is a gift; a freely-granted
boon to my use of this language. It's a huge step up from REXXTry (or
even EREXXTry, the 'extended' version that has decent command-line
editing tools); due to limitations on the REXX 'INTERPRET' command,
it's impossible to define functions interactively, and a few other
things. (That said, though, EREXXTry was for over a decade my sole
interactive interpreter for any language. It was either that or save
something to a file and run it.) Do I whine and complain because my
gift isn't absolutely perfect? No. I might *humbly* open a discussion,
but it's with the attitude of "these people have given hugely of their
time" rather than "these people have done something which is WRONG".

Maybe you should release it so we can make demands of you without
bothering to contribute to it's development, either in code, or in bug
reports.

The truth has nothing to do about it. You just don't talk like that
about somebody's labor of love.

Please list for everybody to see the issue numbers that you've worked 
on, on IDLE, on the bug tracker.  Thank you.

I now routinely use IDLE as it has been so much improved due to the 
efforts of Terry & Co.  You are conspicious by your absence.

My fellow Pythonistas, ask not what our language can do for you, ask

Oh dear.  Where should we start...

> For telling the truth? 

Possibly, yes.  Truth is no excuse for being rude and insulting.  I've
never used IDLE, so don't know much about it. But, I do know that a
decent, civilized person just doesn't make insulting comments like
that about somebody else's work even if it is true (which I very much
doubt).

Now, _that's_ funny. This is the internet. If you can't stand the heat
get out of the kitchen.
