An Open Letter To The OpenStack CommunityAn Open Letter To The OpenStack CommunityPosted Sep 20, 2012 7:21 UTC (Thu) by jd (guest, #26381)In reply to: An Open Letter To The OpenStack Community by mordae Parent article: An Open Letter To The OpenStack Community
It's my understanding that the OpenStack folk are working on some/all of these problems.
And once upon a time, Python was not exactly associated with quality. 1.x was maintained by a single person who was, probably, the only person who truly understood how the codebase worked. (3.x had SERIOUS teething problems, too, and is still not the standard dialect as a result of flaws in the design and implementation processes.)

I'm pretty sure more than just Guido van Rossum understood how the codebase worked. Given that CPython is frequently accused of being too naive an implementation for the modern world, to claim that only one person understood it is pretty contentious, especially when there were probably dozens of contributors even in the 1990s.
