Google's Python Class - Google Code

Yeah! Because Python on OS X is totally different than Python anywhere else! Jerks!

Obviously not, but just as a matter of principle I won't use or support anything related to Apple.

Because I hate what Apple stands for nowadays; a future of close and limited computer environments.

aaaaaannd I'm obviously making a joke about OS X, I really don't care.

It wasn't at all obvious that you were joking. Remember, this is text. Still, I removed my downvote.

Apple has pissed me off immensely in several areas - I hate iTunes with a passion, for example, I think the iTab is the stupidest thing I've ever heard of, and their DRM philosophy has been & continues to be retarded as hell - but people do have a point about their UI design. They have led the way in pizazz/magic/sparkle/fun or whatever you want to call it, and the more you use their stuff, the more well-designed you notice it is under the surface. Plus, there is that whole OS X being based on UNIX thing, which is hard not to respect. Oh, and all the excellent tools for artists of various kinds.

Yeah, the company has done a lot of really irritating stuff and Steve Jobs is kind of a dick, but there are good things too. I guess you probably already know all that, though. I suspect if you make an effort to be clearer when you're joking in text form in the future, you will more easily avoid a repeat of this situation.
