You're stupider than we give you credit for.

I guarantee that this is not the case, only that those that actually -do- use python for large scale projects or even mission critical or safety critical systems probably can't be bothered to waste their time with the likes of you. > If people here said that Python just shouldn't worry about that > domain, that would be fair enough.
