Personally, I don't see it as an encouragement, rather a solution.
The "temporary" part is in case he actually wants to start behaving
better, but I'm not holding my breath.

You can't fix people, but you can prevent them from actually being
harmful.

I've only been here since 2006 or so, but I can't remember someone
behaving like that on such a frequent and long-lived basis. He does
stand out.

If python-list is a troll magnet, that's a pity, but how is that
relevant to the *development community*?

Have you noticed that many of us hardly ever participate in
python-list? 
I personally hate reading python-list because so much of it is misguided
wishful-thinking people trying to help and reason trolls, and making
python-list a frankly annoying place :-(
