I'm sure you realized that I was 92.5% in jest.

That is actually a very good point. You can often get great answers on programming forums such as stackoverflow. On the other hand, Matlab Central is one stop shopping. Great threads on questions. And, most importantly, programming solutions and useful bits -- with ratings and comment threads.

I think the place to host this is at with scipy. If you propose it to them, I would back it.

While this comment is perfectly correct, it does highlight one of the problems with using python for scientific computing in comparison to matlab. If a newbie has a matlab problem, then they can go to a matlab forum and expect to get a reasonable answer. But if that problem occurs in python, then a beginner might need to ask their question in a python, spyder, numpy, scipy, pyqt etc. forum, and if you aren't familiar with the full tool stack and the relationship between all the parts, it could be a bit confusing (the same goes for reading through documentation). So I would advocate being forgiving of slightly off-topic questions.
