Instead of being a blind fanboy and chastising everyone who dares to
question pydev, Guido, or YOU... why don't you offer a good rebuttal?
If i did not give a rats behind about Python i would not be here
arguing with you. I would give up and "require" my packages ;). I
prefer to import

I believe Python has the best chance of surviving and becoming the
king of high level languages, IF we don't muck it up!
