you're right, but what when I say "python related", I mean that it has
something or a lot in common with python, and as such, it could be of
interest to any python fan.
Why being extremists? Python is a programming language, a tool. It is
not a religion, is it? Programmers use different tools, and this could
be a very interesting one for someone who already knows python.
