is?
The reason that discussions on py-dev were not valid a public discussion of
'@' is that there was no public announcement that pep 318 pertained to '@'.
It's that simple.
It's sorta like holding a public meeting supposedly to discuss sewers and
voting to give all the county commissioners 100% raises instead :-) The
public wasn't informed of the true nature of the meeting, so the open
meeting law was violated.
To repeat: given that pep 318 is grossly misleading, I contend that no
proper discussion of it has ever taken place. Sorry, but if you actively
mislead the public, then the public _does_ have a right to complain. The
web is a huge place. Expecting people to track it without proper notice of
what is being discussed is patently unfair.
