This PEP outlines the python-dev voting guidelines. These

guidelines serve to provide feedback or gauge the "wind direction"

on a particular proposal, idea, or feature. They don't have a

binding force.

This PEP outlines the python-dev voting guidelines. These guidelines

Rationale
|
||||
=========
|
||||
|
||||
When a new idea, feature, patch, etc. is floated in the Python
|
||||
community, either through a PEP or on the mailing lists (most
|
||||
likely on python-dev [1]), it is sometimes helpful to gauge the
|
||||
community's general sentiment. Sometimes people just want to
|
||||
register their opinion of an idea. Sometimes the BDFL wants to
|
||||
take a straw poll. Whatever the reason, these guidelines have
|
||||
been adopted so as to provide a common language for developers.

|

While opinions are (sometimes) useful, but they are never binding.
|
||||
Opinions that are accompanied by rationales are always valued
|
||||
higher than bare scores (this is especially true with -1 votes).

Voting Scores
|
||||
=============
|
||||
|
||||
The scoring guidelines are loosely derived from the Apache voting
|
||||
procedure [2], with of course our own spin on things. There are 4
|
||||
possible vote scores:

possible vote scores:
|
||||
|

+1 I like it
|

- ``+1`` I like it
|
||||
|
||||
+0 I don't care, but go ahead
|
||||
- ``+0`` I don't care, but go ahead
|
||||
|
||||
-0 I don't care, so why bother?
|
||||
- ``-0`` I don't care, so why bother?
|
||||
|
||||
-1 I hate it
|
||||
- ``-1`` I hate it
|
||||
|
||||
You may occasionally see wild flashes of enthusiasm (either for or
|
||||
against) with vote scores like +2, +1000, or -1000. These aren't
|
||||
really valued much beyond the above scores, but it's nice to see
|
||||
people get excited about such geeky stuff.
