If it were my Mrs, I'd find myself enjoying a perfectly toasted roll with homemade preserves. 
Maybe you should consider an upgrade?

Based on that reply you should consider yourself lucky your Mrs. allows you to continue to breathe.

You, being a modern, can run off to the video game console (make sure the joy-stick you shift is the right one).

 I'm one month shy of 54 years old and have been happily married for nearly 32 years. Haven't touched a video game console in nearly 2 decades. If that makes me "a modern" then so be it.
I was taught to respect women and not treat them as chattel.

The kitchen in my domain - she cooks twice a week to give me a break - so I have metal knives for filleting and "bony" meat. The ceramic ones don't like bone or metal so she does know not to use those (and I keep "her" ceramics well away from "my" ceramics so she won't bugger them up anyway).
And she's afraid of most of my big toys, which helps: Freddie the meat slicer is safe, and so is Stephen the deep fat frier (both are industrial equipment: Freddie is a 10-inch rotary blade, and Stephen holds 8L of oil - she could hurt herself or the cat pretty badly with either). The Sous Vide she has accepted and actually uses occasionally.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

I get my once-upon-a-time-chemist satisfaction by being the cook. She didn't know how to cook when I acquired her, so, when she does cook, it's my style (a hidden blessing, that).
She doesn't use my knives - I insist they be hand washed as soon as their use is finished. No dishwasher; now sitting on a counter for days. So she has some sort of fear of offending my sensibilities - or (more likely) she likes that I do all the cooking and doesn't want to rock that boat. Also, leaving stuff that sharp in a careless way, like in a sink, could result in copious bleeding if grabbed unknowingly and inappropriately. Oddly, the ceramic knives given me as a gift some years ago are her domain - not sharp enough. We share the cleaver. Somehow, a woman with a cleaver always sounds ominous[^].
My deep-fryer holds ca. 3 liters. It's actually in order to eat less oil - wok-food has water-based components ready and in go the drained fried items. Greasy tastes so damn good. Especially potatoes.

I tried running a Python open source library (something someone else wrote 4 years ago) with Python 3.x. Doesn't run because it was written for Python 2.x. 
This is why I hated scripted languages. You don't know what's wrong until you try running it. I suppose I should PyLint it.

Or you could just poor water over it and wash out the crumbs, as previously stated in this thread. 
Seriously though, do you like Python? Is it useful? I here more about the language everyday and I am thinking about taking a gander someday.

Definitely do so. It's a good language, I'm impressed with how much can be done with a little code (example), and there's huge community support. I use it for development on single board computers (rPI and Beaglebone) and even though Gtk is a crappy UI framework, same code works on Windows and Linux without any changes. Visual Studio support is pretty good. So, after abstracting the hardware specific stuff, I often do the debugging in Visual Studio and then SCP the code over.
Definitely use PyLint though -- it'll catch a lot of code errors, almost like compiling the code.
Having played around with Django (the Python version of ASP.NET/MVC) I'm impressed with the implementation, though I prefer to stick with C# for web/desktop development for performance, comfort, and bias. 
A side project of mine related to Docker, Python is definitely my language of choice, much more so than .NET Core, mainly because of the community support, ease of use, and maturity of various Python frameworks.

One of the very best thing the wife has ever purchased was bamboo tongs, absolutely perfect for fishing out toast, crumpets etc from toasters. Cost $2, value priceless.
