Python 3.0 releasedPython 3.0 releasedPosted Dec 4, 2008 6:42 UTC (Thu) by macson_g (subscriber, #12717)In reply to: Python 3.0 released by kbob Parent article: Python 3.0 released
3000 is clearly an octal number, which translates to 1536. And 1536 is a year when The Inquisition was implemented in Portugal.
Remember: No one ever expects The Portugal Inquisition :)

Yes, that's why the grammar was corrected to match.

That should be 'Eminence' :)

"""

No. I'm sure it's Eminience. As in "of or pertaining to the planet Eminiar VII". I therefore suggest the name "Vendikar" for this new Python release. Hey, it's computer related. :-)

To me it's clearly a base-26 number, where each digit corresponds to an alphabet letter.
Then, 3000 => daaa.
Everybody knows "daaa" is the Portuguese phonetic equivalent of the English "D'oh!" [1].
