Your Python is actually pretty good - if Raymond Hettinger pronounces it
OK then few would dare to disagree.
Thank you.
As for your English, though, the word you sought was "Pythonic" (not
that you will ever find such a word in Webster's dictionary). To suggest
that your code is Pythonesque would mean you found it farcical or
ridiculous (like a Monty Python sketch), which it clearly is not.
I didn't know about the pejorative meaning of Pythonesque. :-) Thanks for the
comment on my English (which should be obvious that I'm not a native speaker).
PS: I think either my mailer or yours has mangled the indentation.
I think that it was mine.
Thanks, Rogério Brito.
