The first thing of beauty I found in Python (coming from C, C++, and perl) was the way Python handled variables, or as someone recently described them, names. Python's "for" statement is always beautiful to look at. Especially when someone uses the else clause rather than trying to detect if the list was exhausted. I sometimes avoid using the comprehensions just to get an excuse to write another for loop in Python. There can never be enough for loops written in Python! Also, Python's iterator interface is by far the most beautiful thing I have ever seen in the world of programming. Of course, the reason why the for loop is so beautiful is because iterators are so beautiful. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
