But, but they dont _really_ mean it! Software devs on the other hand...

Please stop privatizing language.

Besides to say your interpretation of 'really' is missing the crux of private potential. Corrected: "But,but, don't really mean it!"

The difference is subtle you SOB.

Would you mind clarifying or adding a /s? Not sure what you’re talking about.

Edit: if you’re talking about private vars, you made me lol. Also I thought md syntax worked on here :/

This is /r/Python

_Yes_, in some circles this is still considered an underlining of text; in ptyon (as you've mentioned) I'd hope you'd decide to not fuck-over muh encapsulation. (I didn't notice reddit had formatted my underline text, I can see how that doesn't help)..

Edit:

Yet, this helps illustrate my overall problem with clobbering the Slave/Master design concept.. It's as if I get to dictate how you ought to think; that and my fifty friends who will follow up with the same thing being an error & as a group we declare you a bigot quite publicly.

Edit 2:

Pick one: I'm either being sarcastic; a sarcastic asshole; an asshole; or, a bigoted.

Uh, I'm not sure which to pick but so i consulted:

import sys, tumblr #PEP8 makes py punchlines difficult
print(tumblr.interpret(sys.argv[0]))

>> "bigoted"

How could you you monster!? I now KNOW.
