You'll know that Python is sexist the day you'll find the title 'No
women allowed' on the python main document page.
Good God I hope you're being ironic.

Well, I'm sorry to see this, it means I was wrong about the lack of
sexism in the Python community. I encourage anyone who wants to improve
the situation to join the new diversity list:
http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/diversity
Are you suggesting this list reject part of the community regarding its
sexual orientation, ethnicity, size, culture? If that was the case I'd
like to know about it.
I would really want to know how you'd guess my gender (could be some
clue somewhere), my sexual orientation, my religion and so on.
How can you reject someone regarding informations you don't have ?
That's the beauty of this mailing list, it has diversity, by design.
We even welcome people that mixes up joke with sexist aggression, not to
mention how open minded we are :o)
Beside, the day you'll meet a real act of sexism in this list, please
know that people talk and act on their own, do not assign their attitude
to the whole community.
