Here is this amazing story on PETA protests against Python hackers…
It is a funny joke but I believe this would be something possible from some PETA’s members deep fundamentalist mind.
“We know what they’re doing in there. They’re hacking pythons. It’s barbaric and we won’t leave until the last snake has been saved.”
Oh yeah, here’s a nice welcome message to our friend Ballmer in Budapest.
Look at his face after he realizes that was not a suicide terrorist and that he’s not going to heaven (yes, he was worried because he has to bribe…).
I can only understand 25 % of what this guy says but I think I totally agree with him!
If you’re new to Python and want a little inspiration, or if you just wanna see how cool Python people are, open a terminal, type python to get into the interpretor and then:

The Zen of Python, by Tim Peters
Beautiful is better than ugly.
Explicit is better than implicit.
Simple is better than complex.
Complex is better than complicated.
Flat is better than nested.
Sparse is better than dense.
Readability counts.
Special cases aren’t special enough to break the rules.
Although practicality beats purity.
Errors should never pass silently.
Unless explicitly silenced.
In the face of ambiguity, refuse the temptation to guess.
There should be one– and preferably only one –obvious way to do it.
Although that way may not be obvious at first unless you’re Dutch.
Now is better than never.
Although never is often better than *right* now.
If the implementation is hard to explain, it’s a bad idea.
If the implementation is easy to explain, it may be a good idea.
Namespaces are one honking great idea — let’s do more of those!
Here’s a funny commercial on how Windows Vista beats a human beatbox.
OK, I am not really a fan of hip-hop culture so I was happy that Vista won because of three things:
1. Vista only won when Rock (yes, it’s not metal) was put into practice and not hip-hop;
2. Vista seems to attract good looking girls;
3. Vista actually won at something;
But even after this Vista victory, facts are that:
1. The gossip says the guy was paid to lose…;
2. The gossip says the girl was paid to look attracted to Vista;
3. The girl is rich (she’s got enough money to a afford a Vista capable machine…);
4. There was actually someone that allowed that ugly sticker to be put on a laptop;
5. Vista seems to need to be playing Super-Mario songs for over a minute to be able to play 5 seconds of real music;
6. Vista needs to be connected to mp3 players to be able to play music;
7. This is a fictional contest (there are paper UFOs flying all over the damn place).
