Usenet welcomes technical discussion of topics that are relevant to the
newsgroups in which they are posted.

I don't know or care where Jon Ribbens obtained any Python code.
Perhaps you provided it to him directly.  It wasn't posted here.

I don't know how you misunderstood what I wrote so badly.

I haven't asked for Python code.  I've observed that you haven't
posted any Python code, and therefore your posts should not be
in comp.lang.python.  If you want to talk about Python here in
comp.lang.python, that's great.  If you don't, I wish you'd go away.

Are you claiming that there's Python code in that paper?  There is none
in the PDF.  (I didn't read it in any depth because it's not something I
care about.)

I see you've posted some Python source code later in this thread, along
with Windows batch and PowerShell.  Since you haven't said anything
about the code (how it's written, what features it uses, how it could be
improved), I suggest that it's (a) far too late to excuse you behavior
so far, and (b) still inappropriate for comp.lang.python.

Feel free to have the last word and pretend you've won.
