This puts so much in perspective. I never had the pleasure to meet Python but from what I have read and watched he truly "is a gem of a person and has a very special charisma". This reminds me a little of Steve Jobs and unfortunately once Steve stepped down from Apple you knew the end was near as he loved his work. Hopefully, somehow Python recovers but it is never a good sign when someone stops doing what they love as normally it means they no longer have the strength and will to move forward.....hopefully, this is not the case with Python and somehow things turnaround.
Here is wishing you the best Python and hopefully someone makes a copy of this speech so we can all view it at a later date. I am sure he will put on a show !!! Looking forward to seeing it. Hang in there big guy !!!
