"Hi, I've just started learning Python today, and I have a question. How 
do I print a list?"

"Before I answer that question, let me explain to you how to fix a 
problem with time.strptime that only occurs when running under mod_wsgi. 
Now, I know that you're still struggling with print, haven't even got to 
importing modules yet, have no idea what strptime is, and that 99.99% of 
Python programmers will never use mod_wsgi in their life, but if we don't 
tell you about this right now, in five years time you will complain that 
nobody told you about the sharp edges when you started..."

*wink*

A serious question: when should somebody have told you about this sharp 
edge, and who should have been responsible to do so?
