No disagreement here. Since I know that you are trying
to generate Python code automatically from Qi/Lisp code,
I would like to suggest you to target Python 3.0,
which has some feature you may like. For instance,
there is a weak form of pattern matching built-in:
>>> head, *tail = [1,2,3] # Python 3.0 only!
>>> head
1
>>> tail
[2, 3]
