[sharktide]

#133829

Updates this zipimport example: https://docs.python.org/3.14/library/zipimport.html#examples which uses Python 2.3 to use 3.x and pip.pyz as the new example

This will close #133829

Ready for review

A Python core developer has requested some changes be made to your pull request before we can consider merging it. If you could please address their requests along with any other requests in other reviews from core developers that would be appreciated.

Once you have made the requested changes, please leave a comment on this pull request containing the phrase I have made the requested changes; please review again. I will then notify any core developers who have left a review that you're ready for them to take another look at this pull request.

[sharktide]

I have made the requested changes; please review again.

[sharktide]

We generally try to avoid overriding another core dev's request for changes.

@AA-Turner Have your concerns been addressed? I'm comfortable with merging this if you confirm that you don't want to block.

No response for over a week. I don't think @AA-Turner will reply

Hi Rihaan. Your enthusiasm is commendable, but I would ask that you stop frequently pinging me and other core developers. This PR remains in my queue to look at (& hopefully merge). However, there are nearly 2,000 open PRs in total. If I were to spend just a minute reviewing each, it would take over 30 hours. The devguide recommends a month to give you an indication of the timelines that the project can run on, and to set your expectations -- it is unfair to others if we unduly prioritise your PR solely as you ping us more frequently. These timelines should be used as a guide, rather than as a target.

As a reminder, we are volunteers giving up our time for free to contribute to and maintain the project, so sometimes things do take a bit longer. I regret that this PR is still outstanding, but to be transparent, I have been reluctant to engage in this thread given some of the comments.

Sorry for being a bit annoying ... when I'm stressed sometimes I do t think and make comments like that especially around finals time I promise I didn't mean it the way it came across, i won’t again. Thank you though for your time

I'll give Adam until the end of the month if they want to speak up, otherwise I'll plan to merge (roughly) then.

Thanks! (Also it's my birthday that day so I don't know if I will be available. I might have lots of time or no time)

Shall we use a clearly example time, rather than one that will get dated?

Suggested change

	8467 01-01-00 12:34 example.py

Probably best not so we will know (or people will notice) to update the example if we ever make breaking changes to zipimport. I don't think it is worth it, but it doesn't matter

[AA-Turner]

I don't understand your comment. The code block here is for unzip, where we're already inventing an archive for expository purposes.

[sharktide]

My phone has aggressive autocorrect and my misspelling resulted in unzip turning into zipimporter.

But on second thoughts, by keeping the time and date specific, we know what version of Python it was written in and if we ever change anything even methods we keep for expository purposes someone will notice and fix it.

I also don't think it matters that much :).

I'm not sure I understand. If we break this (which is unlikely), we'll update the example anyway. Knowing when something was written generally doesn't have much maintenance benefit.

I think I agree with Adam -- it'd be better to make this clearer that it's an example and not supposed to be actual data.

[sharktide]

All right.
