For diversity reasons, it would be nice to try to avoid "master" and "slave" terminology which can be associated to slavery.

Do you have examples of where this occurs? 

From https://github.com/python/cpython/search?p=1&q=master+slave&unscoped_q=master+slave I really only found the openpty function, and the man pages/argument names there already use this terminology so it wouldn't make much sense to change it there.

IMHO it's ok to keep the "master" term for:

* Git "master" branch
* "webmaster"
* "postmaster"

To find all impacted files, I used the commend:

git grep -i -E 'master|slave'|grep -v -E 'webmaster|postmaster|/blob/master/'

The libregrtest change looks good but I disagree on the pty/openpty changes. If you look at all the current Linux man pages and documentation, they follow the master/slave terminology. Generally, Python documentation for underlying os functions like fork, stat etc are kept short because the OS documentation is the ultimate resource for them. 

This change causes a deviation from the existing standard and will only serve to make things more confusing, I would suggest deferring it until the actual OS documentation reflects this change as well.

The doctest module has doctest.master symbol:
---
# For backward compatibility, a global instance of a DocTestRunner
# class, updated by testmod.
master = None
---

I'm not sure about changing this one. Here there is no slave, so it's less confusing.

But more generally, maybe it's time to remove this deprecated variable only kept for backward compatibility?

I'm a little surprised by this.  It's not like slavery was acceptable when these computer science terms were coined and it's only comparatively recently that they've gone out of fashion.  On the other hand, there are some areas in computer software where "master" and "slave" are the exact technical terms (e.g. IDE), and avoiding them would lead to confusion.

Of the four citations you reference, one of them is a PR for Django, and three of them say "see the Django PR".  The Django PR is an unreadable infinitely-long page of miserable arguing.  So the context doesn't help much.

Have there been any actual complaints?  Or is this an attempt to solve a problem that doesn't really exist?

As a counter-example: A quick grep finds 555 occurrences of the word "kill" in CPython master.  Everybody knows killing is bad and using the term might upset certain people.  Yet I would not support expunging the word "kill" from Python.

In short, some people associate the words "master" and "slave" to slavery. To enhance the diversity in the Python community, I suggest to try to avoid these terms whenever possible. As I wrote in previous comments, it seems like we have to keep them in a few places.

I'm not super-excited by the idea that Python has to change its behavior based on secret comments.  Python has traditionally had a very open governance model where all discussions happen in public.

While I understand the need to preserve the privacy of victims, is there some way we can bring the decision-making process out into the open?  As far as I can tell, the entire process so far has been "Victor concludes that these terms are bad, and creates and merges several PRs an hour or two later with zero discussion".

Perhaps the complaints could be edited to anonymize them, and then we could see them?  Or must Python change its governance model because of diversity concerns?

Not all uses of the word "master" are associated with slavery, e.g. "master craftsman", "master copy", "master file table".

I think it's best to avoid use of master/slave where practicable, but other uses of "master" are not necessarily a problem.
msg324780 - (view) Author: Terry J. Reedy (terry.reedy) * (Python committer) Date: 2018-09-07 18:32
To me, there is nothing wrong with the word 'master', as such.  I mastered Python to become a master of Python.  Purging Python of 'master' seems ill-conceived.  The word 'slave' is different matter to me.

In tk and tkinter, the 'parent' and 'master' of a widget may be different widgets, but I cannot remember the functional difference, nor whether the terms are used consistently.

Like Larry, I object to action based on hidden evidence.

Having said that, there are situations where words are used confusingly or inappropriately, and better choices are available.  (I am sometimes confused, for instance, by the use of 'client' and 'server'.)  In such situations, change can be justified without reference to private complaints.

I'm using "master" in memoryview because of the audio connotation ("the 
source from which all copies will be produced"):

   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio_mastering

The ManagedBufferObject is literally the source from which all views 
are produced.

Conductors are sometimes called "Maestro", there are chess grandmasters, 
Tiger Woods won the Masters Tournament, Art Tatum is called a master 
pianist, millions of people hold a master's degree.

The term "master" has so many positive connotations that I think it is 
misguided to effectively eliminate it from the current English language.
msg324816 - (view) Author: Steven D'Aprano (steven.daprano) * (Python committer) Date: 2018-09-08 01:04
I strongly disagree with this as a general principle.

"Master/slave" is a powerful, obvious metaphor which works well and is not the same as parent/child, server/client or employer/worker.

In fact, in the BDSM subcultures, "master/slave" can have *positive* connotations. You want to support diversity, then why are you discriminating against that subculture?

Talking about diversity: my wife is of a nationality that historically were often stolen to be slaves and indentured servants, and were discriminated against as second-class people right well into the second half the middle of the 20th century. My maternal family comes from a racial group (Slavic) which gives us the English word for slave and come from serf background. Both of us are angered by this attack on our linguistic culture. Stop trying to sanitize and infantalize language. That's far more offensive than the master/slave terminology.

I'm not sorry for this impassioned plea. You want diversity, that includes people like me.

@vstinner:

> For diversity reasons, it would be nice to try to avoid "master" and "slave" terminology which can be associated to slavery.

This is too vague. Define what "diversity reasons" are and elaborate your point. Referring to some online discussions is not a way for making a serious argument. Make a point at least (i.e. define the term, add pro/contra arguments and explain why you've taken your decision). Your political standpoint is your political standpoint and it's not my business. However, making these changes without giving reasons and arguments for them is a problem.

Let me ask:

Are these "diversity reasons" really reasons? What I've heard seen so far regarding "diversity reasons, ..." had little to nothing to do with rational thinking or argumentation. Is it really necessary to pollute Python code base with SJW ideology/terminology? What comes next?

Ad absurdum: If I find anything associated with something unpleasant to me in Python code or something which can be considered as e.g. "cultural appropriation", I'm free to change it for diversity reason?

Guys, really, don't we have anything better to do with your time than this silliness?

Even if the terminology would be used in the strictest and most brutal meaning, i.e., slave must mindlessly follow orders of its master, there is nothing of approval of the real human slavery in the past (or present). This is just the pretty good terminology for such one-sided relationship which is traditionally used in the computer world. By elimination of the word from the world, not a yota changes about the reality of slavery in the past (or present).

-1 from me with the extreme violence for introducing such quasi-political nonsense to BPO and wasting everybody's time.

@mcepl: I completely agree with you that we shouldn't waste time with this. I would be better not to dig into the discussion about "master-slave" terminology. IMO we don't even need to go into that as the problem here is more substantial:

This case can create a very problematic precedent i.e. _on can modify (even drastically) a well established terminology based on "pseudo-reasons", political opinion or ideology_.

IMO this should be stopped and  prevented as soon as possible for all sake. On the other hand, I believe the @vstinner is a rational person and he is able to give _rational reasons_ for his decision which other could challenge as "potential offensiveness" of language is not an argument.

This is certainly a topic that generates a lot of opinions both ways, not just here, but on many other projects.  Based on that, I don't think it's fair to blame Victor for bringing it up for discussion.  This is and has been an industry discussion for many years (master/slave as it relates to technology was named the most politically incorrect term in 2004).  Victor simply brought it up here.

All of the same arguments and counterarguments have been mentioned in these past discussions.  You can argue that this is ridiculous and political correctness has gone too far.  You can argue that this term (master/slave) perfectly reflects the model.  You can argue that it's not the same relationship as parent/child.  These are probably all valid reasons to not change it.  But, I think it's mostly because it's what we're used to.  

Here's an idea -- find a friend and explain to them that there is a concept in computer science where there is a group of 'things' and exactly one of those things is the main point of contact or first in line, but the other things around it that either get direction from that main one, or they are exact copies of that main one, or they are downstream from that main one.  Sometimes it's because if the main one isn't available, then one of the others is ready to take its place.  Or sometimes it's for other purposes (like IDE).  Really set the stage in describing what it is.  Then tell them it's called master/slave.  They probably won't believe that name because it's a little shocking.  We take it for granted, but it doesn't really describe the situation.

I know I'm simplifying and I'm probably not 100% accurate, but I think you get my point.  Except for the fact that it's imbedded in engineering and computer science and we know it, there's not really a  reason for it to be called what it is and there might be other alternatives that are better descriptors.

Personally, one that I've never seen suggested, but one that I think can be used to describe the relationship of "one in charge and others follow, but can take over" would be alpha/omega (as in a wolf pack).  It's a little stronger that leader/follower, doesn't imply the same structure as parent/child, and allows for the idea that an omega could take over the role of an alpha.  Plus, it's very neutral.  Just too bad the guys who originally coined the phrase "master/slave" didn't use "alpha/omega".  

(for the record, political correctness sometimes drives me crazy and I may not see a need to change something like master/slave, but at the same time, I can understand why other people would like to see it changed)

(second aside - I don't recall that there were arguments a few months ago on the PR to make the docs gender neutral.  Maybe people were against that too as being 'too politically correct', but they didn't feel the need to talk about.  To me, this issue is similar to that one.)
msg324840 - (view) Author: Ammar Askar (ammar2) * (Python committer) Date: 2018-09-08 13:48
Most of the opposition seems to be against a blanket replacing of all master and slave usages, which seems fairly reasonable to me. 

For example, I'm all for the libregrtest change since it conveys the meaning just as well and is an internal tool. However, changing MemoryView and pty seem way more iffy. These changes are potentially backwards incompatible and actually hurt usability.

Unlike other projects, Python doesn't have nearly enough uses of this terminology to warrant a massive political discussion in my opinion. Just look at the usages on a case-by-case basis and be done with it.

@cheryl.sabella let me challenge some points in your arguments:

> Based on that, I don't think it's fair to blame Victor for bringing it up for discussion.

Ok, but where was the discussion? @vstinner didn't even make a point and some of the PRs were merged. Maybe I'm too spoiled by the field where I come from but this can be hardly considered to be "bringing up something for a discussion" when someone doesn't even make a point (like e.g. "I think it should be changed because..."). Ad absurdum I could say: Because of because-it-can-hurt-someones-feelings reasons it would be nice to...

> I don't recall that there were arguments a few months ago on the PR to make the docs gender neutral.  Maybe people were against that too as being 'too politically correct', but they didn't feel the need to talk about.  To me, this issue is similar to that one.

_Personally_, I consider that to be the same kind of PC/SJW nonsense and there should've been a similar discussion. However, there's a big difference. Making documentation gender neutral is unnecessary but it doesn't affect any established CS terminology and doesn't introduce artificial terminological inconsistency between related technologies. 

> But, I think it's mostly because it's what we're used to.

Yes, and that's what is established terminology about.

> Here's an idea -- find a friend and explain to them that there is a concept in computer science...

When you enter a new field a part of your responsibility is to learn its terminology and not voluntarily change it because it somehow affects you (hurts your feelings, not compatible with your political view point etc.). Imagine doing the same thing in physics, chemistry or mathematics. Would you redefine number 1 for diversity reasons (there are ways for making up diversity reasons even for this*)? The terminology used inside a field is primarily for the people who are inside the field and understand it.

My arguments can sound a bit sarcastic as they try to illustrate the absurdity of this whole issue. They are by no means personal. Seeing all the PC/SJW nonsense around me, I'm afraid that this can be the starting of Python becoming PCython (by which I don't mean a combination of Python with Cython :)).

Personally, I find parent/child more descriptive if it can be used in the same context with master/slave, so I'm in favor of replacing master/slave with parent/child where applicable.

However, I agree that the code changes in PR 9100 are a bit excessive. It would be nice if we could keep the members of the public API (some of them have already been deprecated) and variable/function/parameter names left out of this cleanup.

msg324870 - (view) Author: Raymond Hettinger (rhettinger) * (Python committer) Date: 2018-09-09 00:48
Mostly, I don't think these changes should be made, particularly in cases where "slave" isn't mentioned at all.  The word "master" is used in many contexts where master/slave doesn't apply (such as "master key").   Also, I think the PR disrespects all the original authors of the various documentation entries, none of whom have been consulted.

If a particular passage is demonstrably unclear or offensive, it should be changed; otherwise, we shouldn't let vaguely formed notions of political correctness shape other clear uses of plain English.  

As far as I can't tell there isn't a single instance where the docs use "master" as a reference to human slavery or where the use could be seen to imply an endorsement of that notion.

FWIW, Guido drew a line for this a few years ago when someone suggested removing the example using the phrase, "I see said the blind man and he picked up the hammer and saw".  The judgment was that we weren't going to go down this path unless there was actual offensive speech.
msg324955 - (view) Author: Antoine Pitrou (pitrou) * (Python committer) Date: 2018-09-10 23:08
Indeed, "master" in itself is used in a wide range of contexts and can have quite positive connotations (I master Python programming).

The word "slave" I agree with removing if used gratuitously. If its use reflects an established convention which we do not have power to change, then we should probably keep using it for the sake of clarity (for example in the openpty case, since we're merely exposing a glibc function).

There's a remaining quibble about "pliant children" -> "helpers" but that can be dealt with as a follow-up PR without keeping this discussion open.

News about this issue published on different resources are exaggerated. Actually the controversial changes were rejected. All merged changes look correct to me, they fix outdated terminology ("worker" instead of "buildslave" is now the official term in the Buildbot documentation) and make the documentation using more common terminology (for example "parent process" instead of "master process" in context of multiprocessing).

@serhiy.storchaka: IMO, the problem isn't the master/slave terminology itself but the way how the changes were introduced (no discussion) and the justification ("diversity reasons"???).

IMO this is the next level: https://bugs.python.org/issue34660 and I can't imagine what comes next. I find this nonsensical and I'm very disappointed that this ideological nonsense is infecting Python.

IMO the core developers should make a clear statement about this (either pro or contra). Once it's made, I'll have no other choice than respect that stance and act accordingly. Saying that "there will be not more discussions" or sending people to twitter like Guido did is not a solution and it's rather damaging the Python community and its reputation. :(
