Because _____?

That seems silly to me, but to each his own, I guess.

Hands down, some of the most amazing uses of Python I've seen are in
conjunction with platform-specific extensions on both Linux and Windows. But
I'm not all that interested in swaying your opinion, because that's often where
the most money is as well, so it's good to know I won't lose any business to
you. ;-)
