ShowStopper, Work Crippling, High-Priority Bug#1: No Python section in Discussions
-
Okay, maybe it's not that serious, and I've probably posted this before, but I can't believe a place like Code Project has no Python section. It's pretty much my 'goto-language', very popular, and a google favorite. Remind me again why there is no Python section? I queried another favorite site of mine about an "embedded code" or "Arduino, ATMega, etc." section and was told that there simply wasn't enough time or man hours to implement it, and that tags would be better suited for this, and I should just tag C projects with the proper "embedded" tag. Is it something like that going on here? I wouldn't know where to start with a "python"-tagged post. There's not even a "Scripting" section, though things like Javascript have a home in "Web Development". I see python-tagged articles, and a few python quick answers in "General Programming" but that doesn't seem right.

There just hasn't been that great a demand for Python here unfortunately. You could always ask questions in Quick Answers and tag them with Python. Also, could I ask a favour? As you write in Python, could you write some articles on it for Code Project? We are always after new and interesting material, and this could be a great new addition to the site. Who knows, you could be the person who stimulates enough interest in Python here to get that coveted Python section added.
I was brought up to respect my elders. I don't respect many people nowadays.

CodeStash - Online Snippet Management | My blog | MoXAML PowerToys | Mole 2010 - debugging made easierAhh... I see. I thought everyone loved Python :) . The article thing, I'm not so great at, but if I think of anything good to write I definitely will. Thanks for your reply, -Chris

Chris, the last time I used Python was back in the 90s. I'd love to see you write some articles on getting to know Python; there's no need to get fancy, just write some decent examples. As I'm one of the Code Project mentors, I would be more than happy helping you to polish your text and get the text up to article standard.

I am with Pete on this one. I don't know much about Python, but I will help in any ways I can.

We typically try to avoid language sections except in the case of articles specifically dealing with syntax or framework specifics. Sections are about the Topic or subject of the article, and tags are about what's used in the article. So yes: use the Python tag for python articles. Hope this clarifies things.
