Q: I didn't hear anything about this till just now. Where did you announce it?
A: We talked about it at software conferences, on the Python announcement mailing list, on official Python blogs, in textbooks and technical articles, on social media, and to companies that sell Python support.
Where else would you like them to have made it clear?
- sixstringtheory 6y agoOne problem is that all those things are more likely to reach people interested in Python unto itself vs as a tool to accomplish some other goal, like scientific research. The bigger problem, if/when you reach all those people, is convincing them to put their work on hold while they deal with the fallout of nonfunctional changes to the language/ecosystem, making them jump through academic and aesthetic hoops.
- msla 6y agoIf a journal is so out-of-touch with the practice of science it can't be bothered to update its readers on a major change in a widely-used tool, that's a problem with the journal.
