Few comments: • the above code is borderline of atypical. e.g. it is not a average python code would produce or one'd seen in corporate python code. • voodoo like the above makes me dislike python. To me, the one advantage of python is its clarity enforced by its syntax. Specifically, the forced indendation and quite simple semantics. However, the way i've seen Guido's propensities and how python 3 is moving to, it is becoming more mumbo jumbo of computer sciency OOP jargons with syntax soup. (with iterators, enumerators, list comprehension... shits forced upon the users) The above line illustrate well the ad hoc syntax soup nature python is moving into.
