That's awesome. Tools like this are why Go will win.

The world will be a better place with fewer lines of Python2 and especially fewer lines of Python3.

For small scripts and utilities Perl5 is still better.

For bigger stuff that requires actual planning or, god forbid, skill there's much better stuff like C/Go/C++/Java etc...

Python is just a toy language that people took too seriously because of OO hype and carried on thanks to "learn to program" courses and tutorials.

Friendly reminder to fellow Python programmers: Python is not meant to be used as a "dynamic Java", but rather as a purely imperative language whenever possible.

Using classes for polymorphism is redundant due to how duck typing works, and using classes for ctor dependency injection for testing purposes is often pointless too, as monkeypatching can replace pretty much anything with mocks.

A classic video about this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9pEzgHorH0

If you understand and apply those ideas, then Python becomes much, much more enjoyable to use.
