That applies to Python 2.7 and the code that Tim Peters writes. It does not apply to current Python and the coding styles that most people employ.

Current coding styles are either:

- Java-like ravioli, with class hierarchies that no one understands.

- Academic functional and iterator spaghetti, written by academics who think Python offers the same guarantees as Haskell.

Both styles result in severely broken code bases.
