I'm sure that other core developers already explained you how Python
is developed. It's not because someone proposed an idea and he/she has
5 supporters that the idea will be implemented. If you want to change
Python, you have to explain your usecase, others will ask you
questions, you will have to answer to answer to questions and propose
technical solutions. For this issue, many questions have no answer.
(Just one example, the fact that os.chdir() is process-wide.)

I don't know why I'm repeating myself, I already told you something
like that at least once on another topic. It's just a lack of respect
of answering "This operation is time consuming." If you don't respect
the rules (understand how Python is developed), we cannot work
together.
