Would it be useful to have a forum for problems not related to code? For instance:
- Python installation
- Python execution (calling from command line or from file explorer)
- Module installation (pip et al.)
- IDEs, editors and debugger
- py2exe and such like
Just asking :)
the problem you have with detailing forums too much is people start posting in incorrect forums. I guarantee people will put (module installation, IDE, python install, etc.) questions in gen coding, while they ask questions that should be in gen coding in this supposed new forum. The way we have it now there actually has been very little incorrect forum posts from new users.
If people wanted to search the forums for specific topics, they have
numerous options for that.
However, i knew was the intent a few years ago. A lot has changed since then....and we have the ability to create more mods to correct improper forum posts or add plugins to aid us, etc.
I think we certainly get enough questions to fill such a forum. And a forum provides not just a place for people to ask those questions, but a place where people with the know how in those areas to find the questions where they can put that knowledge to use.
And I love the way you argue against yourself, metulburr. I imagine you having a sock puppet account just so you can vote twice in every poll.

I try to see the pros and cons of every situation. Whether I agree with it or not. The problem with that is i never can make up my mind on anything because of it.
I could literally sit there and argue with myself back and forth about a subject. Leaning one way, then another.

Im exposed!!!! I guess i will have to close my hidden accounts
I personally feel we are good with what we got; but no strong opposition if others feel otherwise.
I'm neutral. If the admins can deal with the extra work, I'd say it's their call.
in News and Discussions is discussions for everything else related to python and the bar is for non-python stuff. the main thing we don't have a place for is spam.
