That's why it's very important to immerse yourself in Python at the start,
at least 24 hours each day:  regardless of software product, it's the new
users who *always* uncover the bugs that have been there forever.  They try
things the authors can't even imagine.  As a special incentive, at the end
of 2100, coinciding with the release of Python 4, we're going to give a
Fabulous Prize to whichever Python newcomer found the most bugs in the
preceding century.  So far, you're the front-runner <wink>.
