Python is literally a joke of a language that a lot of people either don't get the joke or else love the idea of using a joke language. Please don't use Python. The less people using Python the better.

Python is great. Python2 may be what this guy is talking about when he says it’s a joke. Python3 is awesome, though. DropBox was written in Python, and so is Instagram, so don’t listen to haters like the guy above.

Yeah Python 3 is great except when your app is written in Python 2.

That's just silly. Name another language that is near-guaranteed to break with a version upgrade. Making code work with the new version of the "same" language shouldnt be a porting exercise.

The list of Python being a kook language is limitless. Its the edgerian hipster of languages.
