I think it about Python being effective in blurring the line between producer and consumer, programmer and non-programmer, which is why it is so effective as - among other things - the glue front-end. And that while for some reason liking to provoke and masquerade as the opposite, *I* am more the progressive because not only do I see this potential in Python as what edu-sig is most significantly about, I've have spent great time and energy in exploring and offering an exploration of that potential. Just so you are aware, I cannot help but seeing the ideas you express and the ideas I see expressed by Kay stuck in this "me programmer/you other" paradigm that to me is regressive, and all the rhetoric otherwise is compensatory for that fact on the ground. We have less need for that kind of rhetoric. Perhaps I am in fact off in the "blue" (in your meaning) yonder here - but I am not yet convinced of it.
