About the Ideas category

[ambv (Łukasz Langa)]

Would you like to change something in Python? This might be your feedback forum.

Before you post, please read Changing Python to understand how to proceed and what to expect.

The original post here was describing this forum category, it was not a prompt for people to send all their ideas as replies.

If you have a request for Python, please create a new thread. First make sure to search existing posts and the official docs to see if the idea is already present or discussed! If it’s not, then make a post explaining with some details what is the feature proposed.

Cats. We’re a bunch of cats. You are a cat herder. Good luck with that.

@ambv

First, check the following:

• is there a PEP with what you’re trying to do?
• is there a topic about this here already?
• is there a topic on the old python-ideas mailing list about this already?

can the links for the first two can be shared as well?

This list has been migrated to Mailman 3. This archive is not being updated. Here is the new archive including these old posts.

Also updating the link in 3rd as well.

It’d be good to include links that explain how to search the existing PEPs, and how to search the old python-ideas mailing list.

You can check the pep index for existing PEPs: https://peps.python.org (I recently suggested adding search). To search the mailing list you can follow the mailman 3 link.
