In addition to the good answers you've had already, I highly recommend David Goodger's "Code like a Pythonista" page <URL:http://python.net/~goodger/projects/pycon/2007/idiomatic/handout.html>, which contains a very good "cardboard boxes versus paper tags" analogy of the topic you're asking about. -- \ "My roommate got a pet elephant.
