I like the Versioning section:

The web devs tell me that fuckit's versioning scheme is confusing, and that I should use "Semitic Versioning" instead. So starting with fuckit version ה.ג.א, package versions will use Hebrew Numerals.

I was disappointed that it's actually 4.8.1 in the setup.py

I can't decide what I'm more impressed with:

The 110% code coverage, the downloads per month, or the license.

> Still getting errors? Chain fuckit calls. This module is like violence: if it doesn't work, you just need more of it.

From the README. Jokes aside it seems like something I could actually have a use for.

Didn't know there was a python version, but as the README says, this is based on the classic fuckitjs: https://github.com/mattdiamond/fuckitjs
