We are an active and friendly room full of Python experts and beginners who all share a common love for the language. Whether you’re a veteran Pythonista or looking to start learning the language you’re more than welcome to join us. As with any community we have our own set of rules and etiquette which are set out below, please be considerate and take the time to read them.

Rules

  1. Be nice.

  2. Don’t spam.

    If nobody responds to your question, that means no-one in the room is able to help (either because they don’t know, or are too busy to answer right now). Please don’t spam the room with further requests for help on the same question. It will only annoy people and make them less likely to want to help you in future.

  3. Don’t overuse @username pings

    Especially don’t use @username notification unless that user has already told you it’s okay to ping them; that’s like jabbing someone in the shoulder and saying “Hey! Answer me!”, and will quickly mark you out as someone to be avoided.

    However it is acceptable (and encouraged) to @username people where it assists in the flow of existing conversations.

Hints

  • This room has its own policy as to how cv-pls tags should be used. Please take a moment to read it here if you wish to assist the community in clearing up the site.

  • Cute fluffy animals (especially kittens and puppies) are cool, okay!?
