Comment on Lost Chapter of Automate the Boring Stuff: Audio, Video, and Webcams in Python

Comments

This author is an apologist for the slander of Tim Peters:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Python/comments/1f00qdo/no_vote_of_...

He cites Glyph Lefkowitz to support him, who now gives advice on lunch vs. dinner networking strategies at PyCons. Which should be taken seriously: Being in the right circles and talking is all that matters in the Python ecosystem.

I'm not in near deep enough to have any ideas what you're talking about, and the link didn't really help. Can you explain?

Who is Tim Peters? How were they slandered? What did the author do that you disliked? Who is Glyph Lefkowitz? Why is citing Glyph Lefkowitz an indictment of the author?

Let the post stand on its own. I'm fucking sick and tired of people dragging unrelated politics into discussions.
