And that's completely OK. There's no requirement any given two should get along. I just don't see the need to waste any time on whether Kay is inside or outside Python Nation. He's a VIP guest, perhaps a citizen by now. The law is unclear. Our BDFL wisely focuses on the language itself (over which he retains considerable power), and I advise the Minister of Education to keep the alliance going with our neighbor computer languages, as our common enemy is this cork in the bottle which keeps kids the prisoner of the personal calculator fanatics. They should have the choice to break free, and into the wilds of "gnu math" (an invented meme in geek culture).
