To do anything more complex, seems impossible.  Rather than make the impossible become possible, I'd rather focus on things that help me do stuff (like process 100,000 man-hours of work in less than 1 hour).  Learning Python was both fun & frustrating.  If you need to waste time, work with Python.  If you need to do real work, use any on the following: VBA, VB, C#, Java, SQL, R, & Matlab.  I just uninstalled Python and deleted 15 Python books that I found online.  AHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhh!  I feel great!!!!!!!!!!!!

https://www.python.org/about/success/ "Python is part of the winning 
formula for productivity, software quality, and maintainability at many 
companies and institutions around the world. Here are 41 real-life 
Python success stories, classified by application domain."

So it looks as if this is yet another case of a bad workman always 
blames his tools, we seem to have had a lot of them this year.

My fellow Pythonistas, ask not what our language can do for you, ask
what you can do for our language.
