It will.  Over & over again.  That's why it's called "art" ;-)

Also over & over again.  If you volunteer to own responsibility for
updating all versions of Python each time it changes (in a crypto
context, an advance in the state of the art implies the prior state
becomes "a bug"), and post a performance bond sufficient to pay
someone else to do it if you vanish, then a major pragmatic objection
would go away ;-)
