Many people have already discussed "Turing Complete". The meaning of
"Turing Compliant" is that Python will remain Turing Complete after
January 1st, 2000. "Turing Delectable" means that Python will also
remain Turing Complete after September 9th, 9999. The Posix module
should break by then, but otherwise, I believe Python is Turing
Delectable.

Resistance is futile. Capacitance is efficacious.
