how about

I'm not really a wizard, I just use Python

or (untested, but I think it's right)

s/(perl|java|vba|c(#|\+\+|)?)/python/g

... but - as *any* regex - can be improved:
s/\b(perl|java|vba?|c(#|\+\+|)?)/python/gi

I *really* like this one.

Only problem is, you have to be a sci-fi head to get it: No problem
for me: I've been reading Arthur C. Clarke since I was 8 years old.

We ought to at least use Python for this

re.sub(r"(?i)\b(perl|java|vba?|c(#|\+\+|)?)", "python")

import re
s = "vba vb perl java vba vb c# c c++"
re.sub(r"(?i)\b(perl|java|vba?|c(#|\+\+)?)", "python", s)

'python python python python python python python python python'

I once tried out "Wrap Python around your problem and crush it!"

Yours is shorter though.

(Not that length matters! ;-)

Years ago I read in Usenet "Less code, more results". Was it in a VB group?
I forgot. Anyway, it really applies to Python.

"Python - less code, more results".

Brilliant. I'd wear that one on a T-shirt, too.

Actually, I'd probably get a big tattoo with both of 'em, and stop
wearing T-shirts...

Reminds me of some sentence of mine if a different
context (long thread about some work which didn't happen)

"less words, more code"

3 more slogans:

1. Python: Taste programming again for the first time. (apologies to Kellog)
2. If the implementation is easy to explain, it may be Python. <3.1415 wink>
3. Python: Rehab for the semicolon.

I also like the Clarke one.
With apologies to Honda,

"Isn't it nice when things just work?"

or, with apologies to Clarke,

"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from Python"

I *really* like this one.

You could always go for the classic variant on Clarke's statement:
"Any technology distinguishable from Python is insufficiently advanced"

Hehe, Simon, thanks for that one! It made me laugh aloud :-)

But seriously, I don't think it is well suited for a slogan.
In my opinion, you should only speak about your own product
(python) and not about other people's products (in a negative
way). So slogan-wise, I like the original variation better.

People who have suffered from poor quality software might not
be attracted to something that says its "code doesn't run."

I like the The Four Noble Truths of Python website

which includes

The origin of suffering lies in the use of not-Python.

Is Perl really the enemy? I don't see Microsoft backing Perl.

I've got to say that BJVE actually has a point here. If there's one
thing about the Python community that I've found perturbing, it's the
attitude that "Perl is evil".

Perl has many flaws, and I'm very glad I've done a s/Perl/Python/ in
my own life, but Perl has been a useful tool and continues to be one
of the main drivers of open source acceptance. Antagonism towards Perl
just makes us look like cranks.

I'm all in favor of Python advocacy, but I much prefer conversion by
example rather than sword.

The other implication of BJVE's post is that Microsoft is the
enemy. I'll save that for a different post...
