Could you folks at a Python section to Languages?

I realize it's not the main thing that CP is about, but I'll probably be writing a few Python articles (so are you going to humor just me???) and I just posted an article which really ought to go under a Python language section. Then again, if you don't want me to post Python articles, just say the word! Marc

We try to add sections on Topics, not languages that implement the topic. If you're after a Python section to discuss the Python Language, then sure. If you want to write an article on MongoDB access using Python then it should probably go in a database section tagged with Python. Are there any specific examples of articles you're thinking of? Or is it more of a "I want to post Python stuff and have it appear in a section that Python devs would most likely read".

I have no vested interest either way, but... The counter-examples are the forums: "C / C++ /MFC", "C#", "Delphi", "Java", "Objective-C and Swift", "Visual Basic", and sort of: "LINQ", "Regular Expressions" and "XML / XSL".

Forums are articles are treated differently because articles are more easily categorised by topic, whereas questions and discussions don't always fit in nice buckets (not that articles always do, either). Articles tend to be discovered - either through Google, site search or newsletters, whereas the forums are more of a place where an expert in a given language can wait and have questions come to them (in a manner of speaking). For those reasons we have language specific forums, topic specific article sections. And then we have Quick Answers which is one big ball of mud specifically for questions, filtered by tag.

OK, apparently I misinterpreted the thrust of the discussion...

I do that all the time. Sometimes even by mistake...

This article[^] on making property-like events in Python Also, suggestions for where The Dangers of Duck-Typed Languages[^] is best? It's in the scrapbook for now. Thanks! Marc
