I'm more interested in using the technique than enhancing it or spreading it. Writing special software, making it a product or even evangelizing feels icky because I don't want to become a self-help guru like pjeby (who used to be a well-known programmer in the Python world), I just want to achieve my own goals. It's strange and mysterious to me why many other people don't instinctively avoid roads that are "bad for the karma".

Whaddya mean, "used to be"? ;-) I'm still well-known for far greater evils in the Python world (cough, setuptools, cough) than being a self-help guru, thank you very much.

Apologies. My phrasing was very poor. Being a heavy user of Python, of course I know about setuptools.
