If you really want to get paid for developing open source, nowadays you pretty easily can. But that likely won't be your own code.

The fact that you weren't even aware that 3rd-party pattern matching solutions for Python existed before, makes me hard to believe that will put your actions where your words are. …

First of all, macro systems for Python exist for decades (just as long as pattern matching, and indeed, many patmatching implementations are done as macros). One well-know example …

As said many times already, then you have the opposite problem - how to get value from "inner" to "outer" scope. If we talk about function scope, then it requires "nonlocal" declar…

I mentioned that in other comments, and can repeat again, there were 2 choices: a) add initial pattern matching to reference Python implementation; b) throw all the work into /dev/…

Right. But the whole idea of Python scoping rules was to not burden people with the need to declare variables (instead, if you define one, it's accessible everywhere in the functio…

The poll is from end of November, there was a lot of discussions since then.

Interested in block-level scoping in Python? Please post on the python-ideas mailing list. Thanks.

If you have automatic block-level scoping, then you have the opposite problem - you need to do extra leg-work to communicate a value to the surrounding scope. Anyway, anyone agrees…

Thus, will be fixed sooner or later. (Sad it's not fixed right away, but neither me nor you proposed patches.)

Exactly, Elixir is usually the only example given. So, how it makes sense to blame Python here is unclear. There's a proposal to add similar "sigils" to Python pattern matching, it…
