I hang out here a lot because the people here are awesome. I've learned a lot, helped a lot of people, the language has shifted, it's been great. I like to think of myself as an empowerer - I help YOU to be able to do amazing things. It's you who are the awesome creative person who's making code do magic, and I'm just removing barriers from your way :) ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
