Just a guess, myself not being the OP; but I would imagine that true blocks / continuation passing and overriding / extending built-in classes would rank high on the list. You can do the same things in python (by using a different implementation), but it's not always as clear or easy (e.g., coroutines in ruby as alot clearer using a callcc approach than python's generator approach, imo at least -- but that's also highly subjective). Ps. I agree with the OP on the point I like python alot. :) Regards, Jordan -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
