:Python is very similar to many languages that existed before it was created. Listing them, and trying to parse which was most influential, could be revisionist history. [[User:Paulehoffman|Paulehoffman]] ([[User talk:Paulehoffman|talk]]) 01:31, 21 November 2022 (UTC)

== External links ==

Maybe add some guides on how to use Python in the external links? [[User:GenZenny|GenZenny💖]] ([[User talk:GenZenny|talk]]) 07:33, 21 November 2022 (UTC)

:There's a billion and one guides on how to learn/use Python, which anyone with the most basic working knowledge of how to use a search engine could find. Linking to any particular guide would not only show preference towards it (could be seen as spam, unwanted promotion etc.), but also is outside the scope of this article. — [[User:Jumbo T|Jumbo T]] ([[User talk:Jumbo T|talk]]) 20:15, 21 November 2022 (UTC)

== Design philosophy and features is inaccurate ==

Suggest rewriting the [[Python (programming language)#Design philosophy and features]] section to reflect the actual language rather than PEP20. Specifically, [https://learning-python.com/python-changes-2014-plus.html commentators] [https://discuss.python.org/t/confusion-regarding-a-rule-in-the-zen-of-python/15927/2 have] [https://gist.github.com/RobertAKARobin/a1cba47d62c009a378121398cc5477ea criticised] [https://www.reddit.com/r/Python/comments/etz4ol/discussion_is_python_getting_better_or_bloated/ Python's] [https://pythonsimplified.com/the-most-controversial-python-walrus-operator/ additions] for [https://therenegadecoder.com/code/the-controversy-behind-the-walrus-operator-in-python/ violating] Python's design principles with unnecessary bloat and complexity. Would this be supported? [[User:BordenC|BordenC]] ([[User talk:BordenC|talk]]) 10:02, 22 December 2022 (UTC)

I would support this, as long as there was still a discussion of PEP20 along the lines of "the stated philosophy" ([[User talk:Paulehoffman|talk]]) 15:55, 22 December 2022 (UTC)
