I doubt it'll go through in its current form, but maybe it'll help the current flamewa^Wdiscussion about case-sensitivity get a little more constructive. I think it's a tribute to Python's simplicity that it's learnable even with error messages like "NameError: Foo". We can do better. <p> <p>Oh, yeah- I cleaned my apartment too. My chinchillas are frolicing across their newly clean floor. <p> <p>Next step: a real release and a better webpage for <a href="http://parsely.seul.org/">parsely</a>.
