The language designers did a good job.
That depends on your perspective. Python, _in my opinion_ much more than C code, should not be written by beginners, but on the other hand is one of the most attractive languages for newbies. The language is way _too_ flexible and makes people believe they know how to code just because they know a couple of more or less sensible concepts like lambda, list comprehension, *iterator, iterator*int, ... I observe _really strong_ hammer->nail effects quite regularly... In the end, there a lot of people who learnt to write unmaintainable code. I seriously prefer perl-programmers who know what they're doing. v4hn
