Black bar? I don't think there's anyone who has used Python who hasn't used his work. His website was always amusing, occasionally useful, and frequently educational.

The announcement said it was sudden. I hope it wasn't COVID.

RIP, effbot.

Agree that this is black bar-worthy. His name is all over so many parts of the Python ecosystem. Author of etree, re, and the original unicode implementations for Python.
