They do a lot of number crunching. Certainly they can appreciate higher order functions like integrate(f, x0, x1) to integrate the function f from x0 to x1; or diff(f, x0) to find the derivative of f at x0; etc. Fortran had cheesy ways to do this as far back as the 1950's. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
