If you mean hacking as modyfying the code of interpreter of libraries -
it is perfectly legal, as Python is Open Source.

If you mean hacking as cracking into computer systems, then what's the
difference if it's with Python or anything else.

If you mean hacking as gaining excellency in programming - then why
should it be?

It's really sad. I saw this poor schmuck on "Want to be a millionaire"
once. His second question was "What is a hacker?" I don't remember all
of the alternatives but two of them was "A computer programmer" and
"Someone illegally using a computer".
He answered 'computer programmer'... guess what was the 'correct one'.

I guess he was lucky though... it could have been the one million question.

The word "hack" can be known as a "smart/quick fix" to a problem.

Giving the benefit of the doubt here, perhaps Enes Naci saw this
article: http://www.hetland.org/python/instant-hacking.php and got
some strange idea about confusing programming with breaking into
computer systems. Maybe.

It's probably more likely that he have stumbled upon this:
http://wwwu.edu.uni-klu.ac.at/epirke...ker-howto.html , or any
other version (That's my favourite, by the way). It says that Python
is a good program to start with on the journey to become a hacker.

We're starting to version a number of our python modules here, and I've written a small function that assists with loading the versioned modules... A module would be called something like: myModule_1_0.py In anything that uses it, though, we want to be able to refer to it simply as 'myModule', with an environment variable ("MYMODULE_VERSION" - set to "1.0") that defines the version.
