Is Python Dead? Long Live Python!

[Kemp Randy-W18971]

This reminds me of a software training session I held long ago.  I mentioned
that one is proficient in a foreign language when they dream in that
language.  Similarly, if one dreams in binary ones and zeros, they have
really mastered software languages.

Alex,
You should be ashamed of yourself, passing on rubbish like this. Putting
them under your pillow does no good; you have to *eat* them if you want to
gain their power.

The 'Essential Reference' isn't a problem here, but you'll need to be a
*big* eater to cope with 'Programming Python'.

Not-saying-a-word-about-Americans-ly y'rs,
