[Israel.pm] Python talk

[Uri Bruck]

I'd be interested in hearing such a talk, provided the format allows 
room for discussion. That suggests one of the monthky meetings rather 
than YAPC. I find the tone of the message slightly disturbing, though. 
Especially :

 >> I admit I still use Perl occasionally, but I feel guilty afterwards.
 >> Programming Perl is a SIN!

I myself have some pretty strong opinins about some programming 
practices, and moderate opinions about others. But I'd be interested in 
hearing a real discussion, not a holy war.
