Oops -- Good catch John,
Even perfect people like myself make mistakes :). Here is the
aforementioned thread where a Python user was chastised for daring to
say Python has a clearer syntax than Perl thereby easing
maintainability: OH NO! *big hand wave*
http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.python/browse_thread/thread/b1214df115ac01ce/c7cfe1fa9634cc2a?hl=en&lnk=gst&q=perl+bashing#c7cfe1fa9634cc2a

These Perl mongers have no business doing their mongling here, go to
c.l.Perl!
He was not chastised, nor threatened as you previously said; he was
welcomed to Python in all of its awesomeness, and given a pointer about
community etiquette.

I have tons of positive things to say about Python: lots of people in
The Community do. And we've all worked with other languages and have
reasons why we don't like those tools, and people are fine to share
those reasons. But that's a different thing then flinging bile and
ranting about how horrible Language-X is or how Perfect-For-All-Things
Python is.

It's probably unpythonic to bash other languages. Python is so good that
there's no need. :-)
