I haven't used this library but I maintain a couple moderately well-used python libraries and completely sympathize with these frustrations. The absolute worst was a guy who asked for all sorts of changes then, when I had made it clear I was going a different direction, he tried to start a public shaming on Twitter, this site, Reddit, and even the Wikipedia page (since removed at my own request). It was un-believable. He was the cto of a company, too, at least at that time.
It is sad that there are people out there who will try to ruin your day if you don't do what they want. Especially considering the work we put into these libraries.
- m-p-3 7y agoSeriously.. If you ask nicely, argue your situation constructively and the developer still consider the best path isn't what you described, just fork it or pay someone to do the legwork if it's that critical to your mission, jeez..
- bartread 7y agoThis rings a bell. I think I remember reading about it either on here or elsewhere. You probably don't need or want it, but you have my sympathy anyway: people can be extremely entitled. I've spent a lot of my career working with .NET, where similar events have occurred. Entitled, demanding, and obnoxious users effectively drove off the author of NDoc and killed the project.
- oefrha 7y agoBig fan of peewee (I love the interface and use it more than SQLA). I’ve reported a few bugs and each time the bug was fixed within at most a day or two, and a release was cut a few days later. As an open source maintainer myself I admire your commitment and productivity.
