Perhaps the way to find out if people would discuss these things is to just create the forum anyhow. I guarantee that most people who come here looking for Python discussion just pass right along and continue their search on Google rather than stopping in, taking time to register and to request it. Much less reply to this thread!

In any case, having a Python forum, regardless of how often it is used, wouldn't really hurt the CodeGuru server now would it? Space consumption isn't an issue. It's just text. I don't understand why you wouldn't make it. If the forum turns out to not be used that often, what would that hurt? We have a lot of forums here that aren't used often in comparison to some of the more popular C++ forums.
