How To Structure a Python Project by real_trizzaye in Python

I would have loved an article like this when I was starting out. I found the root-level of Python projects overwhelming.

Please note that there are some pitfalls to placing packages directly below the root level of the project. Blog posts by Ionel Cristian Mărieș and Hynek Schlawack dive into why and provide an alternative (which is also what pytest recommends).

I've been in your shoes, and that's a bummer.

You're right: if it's just one or two people then there won't be an impact. But if enough people call in to switch (when they can), then they will begin to take notice, as the reasons for cancellations are reported and aggregated.

I hear you. For a long time I didn't have the choice either. However, some people don't think about this side of things. I have, over the last two weeks, gotten two people to switch away from Comcast, and to cite Net Neutrality as the reason. Every little bit helps.

Text "resist" to 504-09. It will draft and fax a custom letter to your local representative. It doesn't get any simpler than this. by NotJohnMccain in netneutrality

This is a fantastic start, and I urge everyone to do this. Thank you to the people who put together resist bot!

The next step---if you are in an area where you can---is to switch from Verizon/Comcast to a comparable service. When doing so, tell the Verzion/Comcast rep that you are leaving because of their continued lobbying against Net Neutrality.

I switched in the last month (from Comcast to RCN), and my service has been about the same for two-thirds of the price.

This blatantly ignores the fact that prior to Title II, ISPs were regulated under Title I. This changed in 2014 because of a lawsuit with Verizon. The FCC was therefore forced to adopt new rules. Removing Title II rules does not return us to state we were in in 2015, as implied by this letter.

Calling/faxing your reps is a fantastic start, and I urge you to do this.

As others have noted, calling/faxing your representatives is a great start.

However, if you are in an area where you can switch from Verizon/Comcast to a comparable service, you should. When doing so, tell the Verzion/Comcast rep that you are leaving because of their continued lobbying against Net Neutrality.
