Awww, did da widdle puddy tat get up on the wrong side of the bed this

Obviously you don't write obfuscated code like this for production use,
except in such cases where you deliberately want to write obfuscated code
for production use.

Any beginner with 3 seconds experience with Python can write:

    print "Hello World"


But being able to write obfuscated code to that degree displays real skill
and understanding of the language, and a great deal of patience and "stick
with it"-ness, all of which are valuable work skills.
