That's an interesting point, but not relevant at the end of the day: `foo.length` and `length(foo)` have the same "practicality". On the other hand Ruby can be praised for the coherence: everything's a method period end of the story; while Python does have a dichotomy between methods and functions/generic methods (whether or not that dichotomy bothers users is another issue).
... how would you correct a newbie (like me) who says:
"well, the main difference between a function and a method (from the caller's pow) is a syntactic one:
fun(obj, arguments) as opposed to: obj.met(arguments) but the effect is just about the same." ? bye -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
