This is more of a political statement than a proper library. More to demonstrate the flexibility of Python given I was able to so easily do this.

Wow, great job by this "beginner" just "learning a language"! Demonstrates knowledge of so many of Python intricacies that it's worth starting a Non-obfuscated Obfuscated Python Code Contest :)

This is horrifying and yet I can’t look away.

That is a work of art, and also you have to appreciate the author’s commitment to the bit.

I feel bad that no one seemed to get the joke. At the same time, that makes the whole thing funnier.
