How many Pythonistas? I would like you to substantiate this claim. I would assume that you actually don't have that much contact with the Python community because otherwise it is pretty unaccountable how I have never encountered that attitude all these years. and I am a grumpy person, and not without my own axes to grind about the Python community.

I can relate to what he said, like the grandparent here it made me laugh.

I wouldn't say i espouse the view presented (have too much respect for what's been achieved in the other camps such as Ruby and even PHP), but internally yeah i think i do view the world that way.

I don't think it's any different from the common "anyone driving slower than you is a doddler, anyone faster is a maniac" - a patently absurd view to hold.

The enlightening part for me is that other pythonistas think this way, because as you said, i have also never experienced this view expressed publicly by the python community.
