Questions about why Python is the way it is belong on comp.lang.python, the 
general Python mailing list, or gmane.comp.python.general (they are all 
gatewayed to each other).  Moreover, they are likely to have been asked, 
answered, and discussed previously, with the answers possibly discoverable 
thru Google search of the c.l.p archives.  This one certainly has been.
