I want to emphasize a point here, as i have done quite emphatically in
the past. The Python documentation, is the world's worst technical

Perl's in my opinion.
I think that this claim says more about its author than it does about its
subject.

And WTF does Python documentation have to do with Perl of Lisp?

I wasn't involved in this thread, but no, after that statement comparing
Perl's and Python's docs, I no doubts.
