See, I actually knew that it was just part of Rails, but this is my whole problem with the Python community. They have this explicit is better than implicit attitude that infects their appreciation of what makes code good. Code is good if it is legible. Doing things quickly is good. Nobody actually writes "end_of_day" and doesn't expect it to work outside of a rails project without running it or testing it. The Ruby community doesn't need to clutter up their codebases with senseless imports to make programming fun and useful. And people hand wave about how 3.hours is cluttering up codebases, but it really isn't. What clutters them is broken frameworks or abandoned protocol buffers. Rails (and ember) have this amazing idea that code shouldn't be anymore verbose than is necessary and Python just doesn't have that.
