Over some years it has been brought up before how some people have expresssed interest in supporting the Pythonista App/project in terms of some addtional financal support. A lot of peple get a lot out of this App and their are some in a position to give back. Its never been brought up it that it should be maditory or that if you contribute you get any special attention. BTW, a lot of people already make big contributions, via the forum help, the issues repo, writing very important tools such as StaSh etc.
Anyway, @omz the reason why I bring it up again today is because I joined this site today that allowed me to support a podcast 'Talk Python To Me' which I am sure you are aware of. I dont get as much out of the podcast as I do from Pythonistia, but I still do get a lot out of it.
Ok, its slightly different as there is no cost to listen to the podcasts, however he still has sponsors.
I felt good I was able to contribute to the show. I wont say how much I contributed, but it wasn't much. But of course a lot of not much's can quickly add up. He also goes into a brief explaination about how he wants to use the money raised. Eg. Supporting his escalating bandwidth costs for serving up the podcast, hiring a professional to edit the audio of the recordings etc...
In no way do i see this as begging. He is just stating the financial realities of producing the show. My observation, he is basically a indie industry guy not unlike yourself.
Anyway, sorry to bring it up again. Just food for thought!
