The worst thing about open source is that people can do stupid stuff with your software.
If you're going to create this abomination, at least do us all a favour and DON'T call it Python. Call it Retardython or something. I don't want to imagine people coming into the official support channels and claiming they are using "Python 2.8", then other people lecturing them about what that software really is, etc. Sounds like a horrible waste of time. (Source: I spend many hours a week helping fellow Python users.)
- izym 10y agoVery good points, but you should try to keep a more civil tone.
- snvzz 10y agoWe can do without the tone policing.
- harryf 10y agoPython is trademarked by the Python Software foundation. IANAL but pretty sure that means he doesn't get to call it Python 2.8
- singularity2001 10y ago"DON'T call it Python" They shouldn't have called it 'Python' 3 in the first place when it's practically backwards incompatible
- Tehnix 10y agoHence the major version number bump...
