One of the things editors do is review statistics on pageviews. That particular article didn't receive many pageviews -- about 1500 or so the first day it was published (which is usually the most popular day for an article). By comparison, our recent article on Thonny IDE for Python -- which is also obviously targeting Python developers -- received almost 6000 pageviews its first day.
Thanks for sharing this. Now it makes much more sense to me.
The goal for Magazine articles isn't to deeply reiterate the many feature lists new releases of software -- even popular packages like Python. We've found over time our readers don't really take as much of an interest at that level. (They may be reading this elsewhere, such as in Python release notes. > However, the work done maintaining Python in Fedora, and getting new versions out there, is *very* important. And there are other ways we can socialize this work, because we want to spread awareness of it. For instance, if you or Petr publish this as a blog, get in touch with me or other folks who can help you with social media (#fedora-commops for example). I'll be happy to help spread word about the features that way via links on Twitter, Facebook, Google+ -- where we reach a lot of people as well.
Would releasing a shorter and more to the point article, with a link to the blogpost that includes the rest make sense? (The point being: We have Python 3.7 in Fedora, you can try it right now.)
More specifically take the first few paragraphs, add a specific example with `python3.7 -m venv venv` and reword the last sentence before the Data Classes as a pointer to the blogpost?
(Possible keeping Data Classes as the only real "cool" feature for everybody.)
