[$] Getting along in the Python community

In a session with a title that used a common misquote of RodneyKing ("can't we all just get along?"), severalPython developers wanted to discuss an incident that had recently occurredon the python-dev mailing list. A rude posting to the list led to a thread thatgot somewhat out of control. Some short tempers among the members of thePython developer community likely escalated things unnecessarily. Theincident in question was brought up as something of an object lesson;people should take some time to simmer down before firing off that quick,but perhaps needlessly confrontational, reply.
