I am sure the article is unlikely to be a joke. The post which the slashdot
post referred to ie.
http://jrvarma.wordpress.com/2010/04/16/the-sec-and-the-python/ is written
by Prof. J R Verma, a gentleman who I had the very good fortune of studying
under, and who is a very senior figure in the Indian financial scene. The
post by Prof. Verma also incidentally mentions Python is mentioned on Page
205. :)

And FWIW - no, I didn't read the 667 page PDF :)
