As someone who's currently whacking on Mailman, I have to say I'm getting really sick of Python. It's such a Boy Scout language, you know? Python puts water on the comb before combing its hair. Python brings your mail and newspaper up the sidewalk when it comes to your door. Python participates in student government. It's like Gallant in "Goofus and Gallant." Let's just say that I'm finding it very difficult to write Software for Bad People (TM) in such a goody-two-shoes programming language. -- Mr. Bad
