This sounds like a good idea to me.  There seems to be an element of
social engineering in the python language, and community, which seems
to be an important part of its success.  There's a lot of leverage to
be had in building it right into the tools.

"We are going to die, and that makes us the lucky ones.  Most people
are never going to die because thay are never going to be born."
