Maybe its because programmers of other languages are consistently frustrated
by their language and tools, are way overdue in delivery and have pulled out
all their hair while bug-hunting.  Python, as we all know, does not have
this sort of effect, so python programmers are a happier bunch.

Of course, if you want to see some *real* personality disorders, try one of
the advocacy groups like comp.os.linux.advocacy.
