Yep, even mythical tales of cosmic monsters can teach valuable lessons. There is no doubt that Python3 is mutating in ways that are violating the core philosophy of the langauge. A language should "evolve" _slowly_ over time, not become a grotesque mutant _overnight_, as a result of swan- diving into a toxic waste dump! -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
