And how do you propose to legislate that? If you leave it to the wetware (untamed!) boxes atop our shoulders will not two developers have wildly different complexity thresholds? And as soon as you suggest an objective (∴ algorithmic) solution to detecting complexity you have landed with the halting problem (or more precisely Rice theorem) tl;dr The HP is amazingly deceptive and you just got tripped by it -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
