Mine was definitely when I was first working with the xmlrpc module, and I was puzzled to no end how it was that I was able to make a call to a method of an object when that method didn't exist. All the talk about Python being a dynamic language had bounced off of me until that moment, when I walked through the __getattr__ method in the debugger and was enlightened. Not surprisingly, that was also the moment when C++ started feeling like a straightjacket to me... -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
