This topic was discussed at great, nay interminable, length about a
year
ago. I'd appreciate it if you would search the archives and read what
was said then rather than hashing the whole topic over again to
nobody's
real advantage.
Well that's my point, and thanks for backing me up on that :-): it's
very simple, and as demonstrated can be expressed in 10 words or less
(plus perhaps a terminology reference, as I did above), so all that
discussion and in particular the lengthy article at effbot serves as
obfuscation and nothing else.
Please don't assume I was trying to support you. Your remarks showed
considerable ignorance of issue that were extremely nuanced. Whatever
point you were trying to make was lost in your self-aggrandizing
disrespect of Fredrik Lundh, a software engineer of some repute with a
long history of contribution to Python. The fact that your post was
basically a restatement of one of the several competing positions in
that thread makes it no more right than any of the others.
What on Earth are you babbling about?
Perhaps next you'll drag in the Pope, saying I've shown him some
disrespect.
News for you: the Pope ain't participating.

The Pope isn't (as far as we know) a Pythonista.
