Please note that, where John Nagle has made supportible criticisms, I
have thanked him for them. They are indeed useful to be aware of.

It's also important to note, of course, that those specific criticisms
are already well known and are being publicly addressed.

It is his claims that there are un-addressed problems which I was
focussing on, trying to get specific information.

If my responses seemed hostile, that was not my intent. I asked John
Nagle (and have still not seen in this forum his answers to) questions
asking for support of his claims.

My request for specific supporting information – that is, this critical
inquiry – was met not with answers, but with allegations of a “denial
problem” and “uncritical fanboys”.

So I've continued to be especially critical in this thread, since John
Nagle expressed opposition to uncritical acceptance of claims.

Critical inquiry is often mistaken for hostility. If that happened here,
I apologise. But so far it's all been a distraction, and I still have
nothing from Nagle supporting his assertions


Your broader point remains true: readers are safe in dismissing claims
about being “screwed by Python 3” or “Python 3 not ready for prime time”
unsupported by specific evidence.

Frustration is understandable. Expressing anger is regrettable,
especially if it is misdirected. Persisting in blaming “Python 3” when
the only reported problems are clearly not particular to Python 3, is
disingenuous and harmful.
