HN's automatic title editing strikes again. The title of this submission should presumably be: "99 Bottles of OOP now available in Python".

It’s supposed to kill clickbait titles. In practice it just randomly mangles titles. I don’t get why they don’t remove the feature and instead rely on flagging.
