The real question is how did Python avoid the toxicity of the Linux or bitcoin dev community (remember the block size debate?)

Though there was a developer who was forced to quit a while ago.

It didn't. I've seen people in the Python community tear someone's open source project to shreds because "it isn't Pythonic". It really soured me on the Python community when I saw people acting that way.

It actually did, all the way until it got so mainstream in the web world that avoiding drama became basically impossible.

Until the "cool kids" started meddling, it was a lovely village. It had a strong focus on beginners and teachers.
