A place for me to babble on about Python development, Python itself, and coding in general. The title is inspired by some knights who enjoy a good shrubbery.

    I'm not sure that Python 3 adoption is "slow", per se. We're about halfway through the original adoption timeline. http://sayspy.blogspot.com/2011/01/my-semi-regular-reminder-...

    Does Zed realize that Guido's response was a joke? http://blip.tv/file/1931026 On a more serious note, I think that high bar to getting things into python is a good thing. What if Zed's changes were accepted, as is, into the Python codebase today? What about when the next guy comes with his alternative APIs for option parsing and email along with a new standard for templates? Should they include them, too? How many…

    Brett and I were just discussing this - and he put up a post summing it up nicely: http://sayspy.blogspot.com/2011/01/my-semi-regular-reminder-... Short version? We planned on it taking at least 5 years. Armin's point is that Python 3 isn't "there yet" in terms of demand an adoption. Python 3.2 (which increases performances, and fixes bugs) is just coming out. Armin's point - backed by his comments here, is just tha…

    The adoption rate is expected, people should stop complain about the python3 situation when it's not that bad. http://sayspy.blogspot.com/2011/01/my-semi-regular-reminder-...

    No home video formats support 48fps, though TVs do. "Both blu-ray and ATSC do not support 48 fps at any resolution. Both do, however, support 60 fps at 720p." http://sayspy.blogspot.com/2011/04/framerates-for-movies-and... Does anyone know if there is newer information or standards planned?
