You're forgetting all the other crucial parts of the hierarchy. A new user should be forced to declare a Desktop that s/he wants the window on, and a Screen, and choose which video driver to use too! Implicit acceptance of defaults is EVIL! Oh, and while you're at it, Python's habit of letting you skip variable declarations is EVIL too. A new user should learn from day one that variables need to be stored somewhere, so Python should stop coddling its newbies and actually get them to do things right: var(0x14205359) x # Don't forget to provide an address where the object will be located x=42 After all, everyone's gotta learn about segfaults some day!
