Pythonic thinking at its best ;-)

"""From personal experience I have to say that Python users are a great
bunch of people. Flames are noticeably less frequent on comp.lang.python
than other language newsgroups, despite recent increases in volume. Whether
this comes from using the language, or the group is effective in socializing
its members, or whether Python just naturally attracts a particular type of
personality is difficult to say. The list is also exceptionally welcoming to
newcomers, and patiently revisits topics that could be answered by a search
of the FAQ."""
