I was shocked to see the personal insults hurled in this thread: http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.python/browse_thread/thread/d0758cb9545cad4b
I have been very pleased with Python developers regardless of skill levels in both the IRC channel as well as here - no hot attitudes. No holier than thou put ons. I was just sinking into the comradery and cooperative nature of this new powerful community when I saw that thread. Well, I hope that the fact that 99% of the Python community, from Guido von Rossum on down continues to exemplify how a language can be good and the people can be friendly and that the other 1% get inspired by their positivity and switch as well... -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
