There may be a culture, but Python is simply a tool. One doesn't need to be a "Pythonic thinker" to use that tool. I'm not saying this is the most /sensible/ idea/project, but I see nothing in particular wrong with it. Your conception of culture here sounds oppressive and stifling to me.

Another commenter suggests the only reason to do something like this would be "emotional attachment"; all the huffing and puffing in these comments strikes me as exactly that, but in reverse.
