This is just sophistry.   If Python was more popular than C at the
time Prof. Kahan wrote this, he would write "in the syntax of Python."

(Not directly on-topic, but Python 3 seems to be moving towards C
spelling of operators.  I, for one, miss the removal of easy to type
'<>' in favor of finger-twisting '!='.)
