Fine with me, tag it wontfix, close it, archive the bug. However, plese forgive me but I just can't stand silent and read "This is not a bug in Python". I find that phrase offensive. I understand that's the general consensus among many high profile Python developers. I find that consensus offensive. I have to object, just for the records. Now that I have objected, let this bug report die: that's fine with me.
