I think it does not deserve a mention in the 'Standard library' section, specifically because it's not in the stdlib. Natively, Python provides an interface to C++; Boost only provides some glue to make it easier. Mentioning Boost in this section is analogous to mentioning, say, SQLObject as well, because it provides glue to make database manipulation easier, on top of the sqlite (in the stdlib). Reading the section again closely, the part about extension modules should be rewritten to put the emphasis on what mechanisms are provided in vanilla CPython, rather than fiddling with specific examples and shoutouts. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/79.78.91.76|79.78.91.76]] ([[User talk:79.78.91.76|talk]]) 14:48, 18 July 2009 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
== Easter Egg ==
Should something be mentioned about the easter egg in Python 3.0, i.e running the code "import antigravity" opening http://xkcd.com/353/?Because it sure mentions it on [[xkcd]]--[[User:Strigoides|Strigoides]] ([[User talk:Strigoides|talk]]) 09:47, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
== Influenced list ==
The 'influenced' entry in the box mentions some little-known languages such as [[Falcon (programming language)|Falcon]] and [[BeanShell]]. Seems like the influence is marginal (particularly for BeanShell). What's the criteria for the 'influenced' section? Shall I remove those two from the influenced list?

:BeanShell influence is probably that Python has a REPL, which does seem marginal, and a cursory googling didn't turn up anything implicating Python in BeanShell. Falcon I'd be more reluctant about as I have a suspicion someone involved in it wrote its article, which lists Python as an influence. So, +1 on removing BeanShell, -0 on removing Falcon. --[[User:Cybercobra|Cybercobra]] ([[User talk:Cybercobra|talk]]) 01:29, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
== Examples ==
TODO: I think this article would benefit from having a list of examples showing the python syntax. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/8.7.228.252|8.7.228.252]] ([[User talk:8.7.228.252|talk]]) 04:05, 5 November 2009 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
:I don't! [[WP:NOTMANUAL|Wikipedia is not a manual.]] Most computer language articles on WP have far too many examples. The python article is a pleasant exception and it should stay that way. [[User:Peter Ballard|Peter Ballard]] ([[User talk:Peter Ballard|talk]]) 00:56, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
