Haha great hack. Something tells me I'll run across someone seriously using this in like 10 years...
It won't take that long (I already have two use-cases for it).
The only concern is how brittle it might be vs. future Python releases.

Thank you for connecting 2 sayings of Murakami Haruki :) 1.痛みは避けがたいが、苦しみはオプショナル ( https://archive.ph/Ca9rE ) Now, I don’t know how representative this book is of Murakami’s novelistic style, but I wonder: Is this low-maintenance, attention-deficit prose part of Murakami’s attraction, especially among the young? Do people enjoy reading him for the same reason they persist in listening to music as blandly familiar as C…
> as blandly familiar as Clapton’s If it hadn't been for Clapton, I probably never would've heard of Laylā bint Mahdī bin Saʿd bin Muzahim bin ʿAds bin Rabīʿah bin Jaʿdah bin Ka'b bin Rabīʿah bin Hawāzin bin Mansūr bin ʿAkramah bin Khaṣfah bin Qays ʿAylān bin Muḍar bin Nizār bin Maʿad bin ʿAdnan. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Layla_and_Majnun Lagniappe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZ8magpNo10&t=93s
Beautiful song… I start to see where the … uh … tradition of responding to rejection with physical selfdestruction in that part of the world comes from…
As for Clapton, something tells me that wouldnt make a good snowclone :)

How is it remarkable? Random people didn't get to add stuff to Python in 2001. It was a niche thing and someone who was contributing to it was likely to be a smart and dedicated person who would naturally have an impactful career ahead of them. It's a misconception that the informal playful hobby hacking things are their separate world from real professional development.
I think OP is commenting more so on the reversal of the developer’s relationship with rules of syntax than their personal capabilities.
Totally right, my mistake. I guess the order of information as presented in that comment misled me.

No worries. I was working at PythonLabs at the time, so I guess you could say that adding Easter eggs to Python was part of my day job.

Note that Yaghmaei exercised the Kolmogorov Option and, unlike Ramesh, stayed in the IRI after the revolution.
For Clapton snowclones, I enjoyed a comment on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u7jV7IkHdqk :
> Eryczek wrote this when he was secretly in love with Patrycja; at that time Patrycja was the girlfriend of the famous Jurek Harrison!
(if you have time, while we're here there's a great yin/yang thing going on between https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ImOYx9j0kIA , a soft Dio interpretation, and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zo3pfnldlD0 , a hard Andersson, Fältskog, Lyngstad, and Ulvaeus interpretation)

hmm... AK and margin lead me to Vereshchagin and Vitanyi, Kolmogorov’s Structure Functions and Model Selection (ca. 2002) — might this be something you have opinions on, or should I ask Hutter instead?

(the description in the abstract of the structure function sounds suspiciously like a galois connection)

You may not agree that facts are better than opinions, but here is one: Aaronson-Carroll’s paper on sophistication, downstream of your link,
is now 10 years’ in the making..
If you manage to access Hutter, let me know if I already know your public key ;)
