Well, let me put it this way folks: As much as like Python, i must admit that it's staying power will be more aligned with that of Brittney Spears and Justin Timberlake -- than the Beatles or the Rolling Stones. Actually, the range is correct, but the celebrities are completely wrong! Python is more like James Marshall Hendrix, Elvis Presley, Janis Joplin, and Jim Morrison all wrapped-up into one! "Alien forces" from another dimension, that showed up one day, transformed rock-n-roll, and then disappeared before we even knew what the heck happened. In the not too distant future, there will be vast conspiracy theories surrounding the demise of Python -- some will say it was the mob, others the government. There will be random public sightings, and kooks will claim to see the "image of Python" on burnt toast. Perhaps someone, after attaching suction cups to a stuffed snake, will enjoy the "commercial interstate success" that only Jim Davis knows... -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
