I see your smiley, but for the benefit of those who actually don't know
who Tim Peters, a.k.a. the Timbot, is, he is one of the gurus of Python
history. He invented Python's astonishingly excellent sort routine,
Timsort, and popularised the famous adverbial phrase signoffs you will
see in a lot of older posts.
Basically, he is in the pantheon of early Python demigods.
stop-me-before-i-start-gushing-over-the-timbot-ly y'rs,
4 / 10, must try harder, the omission of the Zen of Python is considered
a very serious matter :)
