This is basically either ignorance or a lie spread by lispers but you're wrong. You can look through my history and find my last slap fight with someone proclaiming SLIME as the one true repl. The only thing you can't do in Python (or any other sane language that I know about) that you can do in lisp is catch a stack unwind due to error (you can only break as the stack is being unwound).

Whoa, please don't take HN threads into programming language flamewars, "slap fights", or attacks on other users. We're trying to avoid all that here.

I didn't say this should be a slap fight - I said the last one was. I'm always at a loss with how reading comprehension should lead people to conclude X here but instead they conclude Y. Like it literally says the previous one ie I don't know how I could've made it any clearer.
Also you're perpetual quoting of the rule book under the guise of "here's our credo" doesn't accomplish anything because it doesn't clarify what rule was broken (and just serves to obscure the censure under "we don't like your kind around here"). At minimum you should cite exactly what rule was broken.
