If you build up a useful collection of sys admin tools or recipes, you might

Contrast what Python actually does with a hypothetical language where bound
methods' instances are implicitly assigned according to the most recent
instance created:
black_knight = Knight()
funclist.append(spam) # refers to black_knight.spam
white_knight = Knight()
funclist.append(spam) # refers to white_knight.spam
baldrick = Knave()

If you change the "import mod*" lines to "import pkg.mod*" it works for

According to my understand of PEP 328, "from . import mod*" should work,

There's always Python 4000 :)

What you have described is not a reason for rejecting the claim that Perl
6 was a fiasco, but the reason for *why* it was a fiasco.

then there could be circumstances where the benefit outweighed the cost,
and the rule would be "*Almost* never change a published interface".)
To be sure, interface stability is a good thing. But it is not the only
good thing, and it is not so good that it always outweighs every other
consideration.

opers: if you want somebody to scratch your itch
instead of their own, you need to convince them to do so.
My point was that good community support is a fairly good method of
persuasion. The broader community does not get a vote, but that does not
mean their voices are unheard.

Can you give an example of a function with a parameter n
course these days a $400 entry level PC
is far more powerful than a Mac II.)
There were also Forth chips, which let you run Forth in hardware. I
believe they were much faster than Forth in software, but were killed by
the falling popularity of Forth.

ly true for pure Python code, but for a C extension, the
barrier to Do It Yourself will be much higher for most Python coders.
On the other hand, for a pure Python function or class, you could stick
it on ActiveState's Python cookbook and get some imperfect measure of
popularity and/or usefulness from the comments and votes there.

l of incompatibilities,
most of which can be automatically resolved by the 2to3 fixers. To
describe them as different "languages" leaves no term to describe the
differences between (say) Python and Cobra:

He's trying to rally followers to lead on his crusade to save Python from
itself (which *entirely* consists of him declaring that there is a
problem, and everyone else dropping what they're doing to do the actual
work of fixing it).
