Python, alligator kill each other

MIAMI - The alligator has some foreign competition at the top of the
Everglades food chain, and the results of the struggle are horror-movie
messy.

A 13-foot Burmese python recently burst after it apparently tried to
swallow a live 6-foot alligator whole, authorities said.

....

.... It is unknown how many pythons are competing with the thousands of
alligators in the Everglades, but at least 150 have been captured in
the past two years ...

An allegory telling how Python the language really ought to stay slim and
lean and not get bloated by incorporating lots of features from other
languages?

When I read the title 'Python vs. Alligator' on Slashdot, I thought it
was about some comparison between Python and an unknown-to-me
programming language Alligator.

Or a reference to an O'Reilly book with an Alligator on its
cover.
