I noticed the other day that the word "Pythonic" means "Prophetic", 
according to Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary, 1913 edition:

   Py*thon"ic (?), a. [L. pythonicus, Gr. . See Pythian.] Prophetic;
   oracular; pretending to foretell events.

So, in the future, when someone says that a particular feature isn't 
"pythonic", what they are really saying is that the feature isn't a good 
indicator of things to come, which implies that such statements are 
self-fulfilling prophesies. Which means that statements about whether a 
particular language feature is pythonic are themselves pythonic.
