Conway’s law applies: the product of any human endeavour reflects the organizational structure that produced it. If the individuals/groups writing the different parts of the software were in regular communication, and working towards a common goal rather than at odds with each other, that will be reflected in the way their contributions interact. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
