Jim didn't say it was *his* concern, just that he has so far been at
best partially successful in convincing people that it's no more an
issue for Python than for incumbent platforms.  That's the reality you
see in many places, and I don't see how you can blame people who work
in that kind of environment for hoping for a Pythonic solution to it.
Heaven knows, the *people* who run things aren't going to change!

If it's not practical to change those parts of Python, OK, education
of the bosses is all that's left.
