It's sad to me to compare my sense of the Python community ten years ago, to what it is now. It seems like there was a time in the old days when Python was meant to be fun (and even the documentation matched that attitude), whereas between version politics, it's wider adoption for 'serious' work, and GvR's hostile attitude these days it really doesn't seem like that spark is even there anymore. I miss the Monty Python jokes and the freewheeling 'BASIC, evolved' feel of old 1.x sometimes even.
