        But no GIL if I’m not mistaken. Which means you can get some multi threaded tasks to run much faster without jumping through hoops.

    My goto phrase when I want to troll people: “The creators of python called it that because they wanted a name that started with P, as a nod to its predecessor, Perl.”

    It’s not exactly Ken M level, but post that anywhere and the amount of angry futile typing can faintly be heard around the world as other geeks start fuming.

      I could feel a disturbance in the force 2 hours ago. Now I know it was precisely when you wrote this comment.

  The Imperial system is not defined though the metric system, the US Customary system is.

    This statement is incorrect:

    Since the Weights and Measures Act 1985, British law defines base imperial units in terms of their metric equivalent.
