There is no reason to encourage or discourage people in which language to write their code. Code that's meant to be shared makes just a tiny percentage of all the code written right this moment. This "ready to be shared" code is neither better nor worse than "closed" german or chinese-only code. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
