Unless of course you use reasonable variable names and have good comments in your code. I don't think figuring out well-documented C code would be any easier if it were in a more English-like syntax--IMO, it's usually the understanding the interfaces or figuring out what's going on in functions that makes reading someone else's code tricky, not the difference between "x=" and "set x to." -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
