We ought to make up posters advertizing Python, and put Gerrit's picture

I'd studied objects before Python, but Python transformed my perception
of them.  Now they make sense.  Only I think that objects and classes
are as pure an expression of the Buddha nature underlying all existence
as you can find outside of a Tibetan monastery.
