The blog post tell's us that Alex Gaynor confirmed "with some CPython core developers" that his program didn't work because of a bug in CPython.
But the blog post doesn't tell us that Alex Gaynor never said there was any problem with a CPython bug.
Alex Gaynor's blog post tell's us that "It's also not possible to send any messages once your ticket has been marked as closed, meaning to dispute a decision you basically need to pray the maintainer reopens it for some reason."
But that's completely untrue! You can send messages when the ticket is marked closed! And you can open topics in the public forum! And you can click on a username and send email in 2 clicks.
There just wouldn't be any story to blog about, if Alex Gaynor admitted that he could easily have told me -- the bug is in CPython not in my program, so show my program -- but chose to say nothing.
>> arbitrary rules that are not really written anywhere ... an arbitrary ... implementation is only allowed <<
Have you even read the home page?
"There exist multiple implementations for some programming languages - different C++ compilers, different Java VMs - but those other language implementations are not shown here."
No.
