Why aren't people reading the article? Yes, as engineers we tends to rationally think and come up with seemingly plausible explanations but like 3 comments out of the current 8 seemingly didn't even bother validating their theory

Thanks. One of the (personal) goals for this was to keep it simple all in one file (that's why the code is 540 lines with comments and help and license text) and be dependent only on the stdlib. This lets me just copy it over (using th

Yep, that's what I thought as well and was curious to see the link between the author being a rubyist and contributing to python. Too bad it wasn't any such thing. On the plus side tho', I thought the principles mentioned go

Ugh, what's with the cheeky/inflammatory/click-baity title. That's a turn off from an otherwise good article on guidelines one can use to easily identify opportunities to potentially optimize python code.
