I'm a Perlhead (there, I said it). Years ago I made a genuine
attempt to learn Python, but my intense disappointed with the way
Python deals with scopes ultimately sapped my enthusiasm. I couldn't
live without closures and without the fine control over scopes that
Perl provides.
I've been wanting to make another attempt to (re)learn Python for
a while, but this scopes business remained a major damper. What's
pushing me over my reluctance is having to work with a large in-house
package developed in Python.
I am hoping that it may be better this time around. For one thing,
like Perl, Python was then (and maybe still is) a "work in progress."
So I figure that Python scoping may have improved since then. Even
if not, I think that Python is mature enough by now that adequate
alternatives must have been devised for the Perlish features that
I missed during my first attempt.
My question is: is there any tutorial on Python scoping aimed at
diehard Perlheads?
Thanks!
