Perhaps, but the treatment by your mail/news software plus the delightful Google Groups of the original text (which seemed intact in the original, although I don't have the fonts for the content) would suggest that not just social or cultural issues would be involved. It's already more difficult than it ought to be to explain to people why they have trouble printing text to the console, for example, and if one considers issues with badly configured text editors putting the wrong character values into programs, even if Python complains about it, there's still going to be some explaining to do. One thing that some people already dislike about Python is the "editing discipline" required. Although I don't have much time for people whose coding "skills" involve random edits using badly configured editors, trashing the indentation and the appearance of the code (regardless of the language involved), we do need to consider the need to bring people "up to speed" gracefully by encouraging the proper use of tools, and so on, all without making it seem really difficult and discouraging people from learning the language.
