Nit pick: Change "they" to "he" to be grammatically correct. If we
really have to be gender neutral, change "he" to "he or she".

This grammatical "rule" is a modern fiction with no particular utility. Go ahead and use singular "they" as a gender-neutral pronoun; it was good enough for Shakespeare, Twain, Austen and Shaw, it should be good enough for Python.
