Alan Green: "In general, the Python blogging community is full of interesting people, who are capable of expressing themselves clearly, who are polite and who can respect alternative points of view. Does the language rub off on the people or do the people rub off on the language?" Modesty forbids my linking directly to Alan's post. ;-)

Well, I can't answer the question, but I will point out that it's not just the blogs; comp.lang.python is also full of exceptionally nice, helpful people. So, there is certainly some kind of link here...
