Really? Specifically telling someone that their OS of choice is "not a 
real operating system" (without any sort of justification) is not 
intending to start an OS flame war? Of course that's what you intended 
to do. The answer to "Python does not work in this way for me" should 
*never* be "change your operating system".

FWIW, I can see that you do indeed have something to add to these 
discussions but unfortunately you seem to also feel the need to provoke 
a reaction from people. As a result, anything of value you impart - and 
there IS something there - gets lost in the noise.

If you could just bring yourself to offer your expertise without making 
direct value judgements on other people's choices, preferences and 
ability compared to your own, I think your voice would be listened to a 
lot more and things would be a whole lot easier.

This is just friendly advice - I am not _insisting_ that you do anything 
you do not wish to ;)
