I remember seeing that and facepalming, because I was considering contributing to the project but that just put me right off. Now it's on Python 3 I'm inclined to reconsider.

performance would be happily accepted. Oddly enough, no one has ever
taken him up on that, though a number of people have insisted it is
very important that he himself do that work.
