OTOH, I beseech you to consider an attitude transplant :-)

I.e. put your effort into writing code that allows people to do useful 
things, rather than opaque guff full of __blahblah__ that stops them 
from doing dopey or evil things they're usually smart enough or 
righteous enough not to do anyway.

BTW, what do you think of this:

sys.maxint = -12345

Cheers & HTH,
John
