3 new slogans

[smarter_than_you]

1) Python made me rich
2) Python saved my life
3) Python changed my mind

put them on T-shirts. Collect all three!!

 

[Michael Peuser]

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

Kindly
Michael P

 

[Alan Kennedy]

or, with apologies to Clarke,

"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from Python"

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.

regards,

Michael> .. but - as *any* regex - can be improved:

We ought to at least use Python for this

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

[Nick Vargish]

Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from Python

I'd wear that on a T-shirt. Or, with apologies to Sturgeon:

90% of code is crud
The rest is Python

[F. GEIGER]

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".

Cheers

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...

Python. Fat Free Programming

 

[Mike Kier]

"My code doesn't run...
...It slithers! - Python"

 

[Christian Tismer]

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".

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

"less words, more code"

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

[Dave Benjamin]

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.

Dave

 

[Simon Bayling]

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

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

I *really* like this one.

Simon.

 

[A.M. Kuchling]

By the way, at one time I found a set of Python icons that could
be freely used, for example on Web sites. Is that still
available? I couldn't find it. If it still exists, perhaps the

http://www.python.org/community/logos.html, perhaps?

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.

Too late!

I need to lose 20lb and chase some invoices.

"My code doesn't run...

...It slithers! - Python"

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
http://www.pauahtun.org/4nobletruthsofpython.html

which includes

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

and others.
