I don't think "we" has quite the meaning you believe it does. Or
"help" for that matter.

And over the past few years he's been working on Google App Engine,
that lets _anyone_ run their own Python code on the web using aspects
of Google's backend.

Please point out your contributions to the Python community over that
time frame. Note that rants and long threads do not constitute
"contributions".

According to your previous comment, Google hired him because he was
"lucky".

My guess is he got tired of listening to crap like this: "I think he
has evolved into a complete jerk".

The absolute hypocrisy of you accusing _anyone_ else of being ego-
driven is probably the most disgustingly reprehensible thing you've
said to date, out of what is an amazing litany of arrogant crap.
