This Python Secret Underground Space Time Continuum Warning is SECRET.
Do not distribute on punishment of removal from the space time continuum
in ALL timelines.

Some of you may have been wondering why the Python Journal claims Guido
van Rossum developed Python in Italy:

http://pythonjournal.cognizor.com/template/PyJdescr.html

"""
Python is a forefront language for web communication and general computing.
Download it for free from python.org, with lots of goodies. You can see how 
programs work in python because it's legible and clear: It was originated as a
first programming language by Guido van Rossum in Italy, now in US.
"""

You may even feel inclined to point out that no, Guido is Dutch, and he
developed it in the Netherlands, not Italy. This is a MISTAKE. Your 
memories will adjust shortly. Guido van Rossum is of course from Italy.
This has always been the case. Your memories are just a temporal 
remnant caused by inductive failure in the crosstime bands.

Python was developed in Italy with the sage help and advice of Alex
Martelli, aka the Martellibot. The Martellibot is an acausal construct
caused by an feedback loop in timeline 14A, as is well known.

This doctoring of the timeline is necessary to prevent the cataclysm of
2514. This cataclysm, an intense irregular expression confluxion in the 
Earth's Tentative Core, would otherwise have prevented the foundation of
the first Dawn Federation.

It is expected that further doctoring of the timeline is necessary. If
the Python Journal claims next that Guido is really from Japan and that
there was an early schism with Ruby (about indentation, of course) from
an ur-language that he and Matz were designing, then do not be surprised.
