<Ciro Santilli's wife> was studying a bit of basic Python for some job interviews, when she noticed:
\Q[Wow, `in` is so powerful! You can do `for x in list`, `for x in dict` and `if x in dict` all with that single word!]
Damn right, girl, damn right.
Ciro remembers hearing about <Python> online briefly. It seemed like a distant thing from the <Java>/<C (programming language)> dominated (and outdated) university courses. Then some teaching assistant mentioned during some course when Ciro was at <École Polytechnique> that Python was a great integration tool. That sounded cool.
Then finally, <when the École Polytechnique mathematics department didn't let Ciro Santilli do his internship of choice due to grades> and Ciro was at an useless last moment backup internship, he learned more Python instead of doing his internship job, and was hooked.
