Come back when you've had *half a million users* then we'll take your
experiences seriously.
That being the case with Python (maybe even ten times as many), why
would anybody here care what I say about it?
So it doesn't a matter at all that you can do:
math.pi = "Hmm, Pie!"
because there are so many users who don't care.
(Actually I can't remember how many users I had. The language was freely
available as part of an application of which we sold thousands, and was
actually used to help its implementation.
There might have been a dozen people who used it to write add-on
products as well as others who tinkered with it. But it was not then a
stand-alone language; it was part of a 3D graphics app.)

For a language which does everything wrong, it must be doing something
right.
Well, you certainly you get your money's worth in terms of features and
add-ons.
