Anyway, I'm looking at Python as a rapid prototyping language.

"Pythonic" is (or at least should be) a word you encounter frequently in
discussions of Python code. Learn what is considered Pythonic and then
write Python code that way if you want to work with the language rather
than fight it. Duck-typing is very Pythonic
You're not kidding, the 'duck' example at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duck_typing made me check I hadn't overdone
the medication this morning. That is just plain ...weird. It will take
me a while to form non knee jerk opinions of this for sure.

On a side note, I would highly recommend learning Python 3 (3.2 is the
latest stable version) unless you have an explicit need for Python 2
(some major 3rd-party libraries have not been ported yet). Python 2
won't get any new features; it will simply get bug fixes until its EOL
in 2014 (15?).
I'll check it out, thanks.
