Looks like a bug in their language detection.

Switch to Arabic manually and it works fine.

A good deal of projects over the years have relied on 're' at their core. Thank you, Fredrik Lundh.

And PIL (now Pillow), truly inspiring Open Source contributor!

and elementtree, one of the first "sane" XML parsing modules

Google gives me: „ We belong to God and to Him we shall return“ when selecting Arabic. I‘m just learning Arabic but I‘m wondering why op wrote it including the pronunciation marks which is very uncommon in daily use. I can imagine that it is a quote from the Quran

The effbot was an early mentor me. He had a brusque style, an excellent sense of design, and a wry wit. He thought deeply about programming problems and did not shy away from non-trivial tasks such as regular expressions. His ElementTree library humanized XML parsing and generation in Python.

>including the pronunciation marks

It was likely copied.

They are common in religious texts.

If anyone is responsible for Python's success, after Guido, it's Fredrik Lundh. When I was learning Python, it was his libraries and his documentation I kept using and learning from. I feel this one more personally than others, even though I never interacted with him.
