  Be kind. Don't be snarky. Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive. When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names. Eschew flamebait. Please don't complain about tangential annoyances.

    Beautiful is better than ugly. Explicit is better than implicit. Simple is better than complex. Complex is better than complicated. Flat is better than nested. Sparse is better than dense. Readability counts. Special cases aren't special enough to break the rules. Although practicality beats purity. Errors should never pass silently. Unless explicitly silenced. In the face of ambiguity, refuse the temptation to guess. There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it. Although that way may not be obvious at first unless you're Dutch. Now is better than never. Although never is often better than right now. If the implementation is hard to explain, it's a bad idea. If the implementation is easy to explain, it may be a good idea. Namespaces are one honking great idea -- let's do more of those! https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0020/ https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0020/ Take heart in the bedeepening gloom That your dog is finally getting enough cheese. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ey6ugTmCYMk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ey6ugTmCYMk

  How is not the parent comment a shallow reaction to the post, which was my point? It was the usual empty response that gets the top comment post and sets the tone for the thread.

    I beg you pardon, my responses can be categorized as provocative sometimes, but they are never empty. I always state clearly my point and give factual data.
