I think that Oleg asked the wrong question. With sufficient
imagination, <br>
it is always possible to draw *some* kind of relationship or
connection <br>
between virtually any two concepts, "six degrees of
separation" kind of <br>
thing.<br>
<br>
A better question is, how are questions about third-party
certification <br>
programmes on-topic to this mailing list?<br>
<br>
"This list is to contain discussion of speculative
language ideas<br>
for Python for possible inclusion into the language."<br>

<br>
Third-party certification is not a speculative language idea
for Python. <br>
It's not even an idea for documentation about existing
language <br>
features. Third-party trainers and teachers may, or may not,
mine the <br>
standard Python docs and tutorial for concepts, but regardless
of <br>
whether they do or not, I think that discussions about
third-party <br>
certification programmes are off-topic and should be taken to
either a <br>
specialised mailing list or SIG (if there is one):<br>
