People can certainly adjust to whatever challenges technology confronts them with (some people can do that easier, some have more difficulties). Still, beautiful is better than ugly.

Remember, you and I have no disagreement whatsoever about what the Python code looks like. I look forward to seeing beautiful code written in French, Korean, etc. under PEP 3131, and I have not opposed anything in the proposal that affects the code itself.

We're just disagreeing about whether the Dutch tax law programmer has to uglify his environment with an alias of Python to "python3.0 -liberal_unicode," or whether the American programmer in an enterprisy environment has to uglify his environment with an alias of Python to "python3.0 -parochial" to mollify his security auditors.

I guess you could argue that the American programmer in an enterprisy environment already is dealing with so much ugliness, it wouldn't matter. ;)
