Yes, we now have Learning Python in Korean published on the seminar day Feb.
2. and Python and Tkinter Programming a few weeks ago. (I'm sure there are

I reckon the people who are reading the translated version of the quips
would think them rather pedantic and esoteric than offensive; or very
valueable and profound about programming than laughable and comedic.
Nonetheless, it wouldn't hurt anyone's heart at least -- it would hurt some
of the reader's brains; they would struggle to interpret it.
