Seconded. This is not useful at all on Wikipedia. I took the liberty to remove this paragraph, because I don’t think anyone would find it useful; in fact, it would only confuse people. Here’s a diff for anyone interested in the original content: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Python_(programming_language)&diff=prev&oldid=861064627 -- Chris Warrick <https://chriswarrick.com/> PGP: 5EAAEA16 -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
