It will, however, have the side-effect of helping people who google for it tomorrow. I've often found a several months old answer that people on a group had taken the trouble of patiently answering, which was a big help to me. In this case I can imagine a person who has heard that Python is in a class of languages like Perl and Ruby, and who googles around with some keywords to get some idea of whether it can solve their problem.
