What is the deal with the pony in Python community?
Pony references are in several places:
- http://www.mail-archive.com/python-dev@python.org/msg44751.html
- http://pypi.python.org/pypi/django-pony/
- http://djangopony.com/
Is there a cultural reference that I am missing? What is the deal with ponies?
Solution
When you start listing what you want, "I want a fast HTTP parser", "I want ORM that just works", "I want higher order functions", the idea is that while you're wishing for things, you might as well wish for a pony too. This is probably a reference to a Calvin and Hobbes strip from "Someone under the bed is drooling", in which Susie Derkins says that as long as she's dreaming, she might as well wish for a pony.
