There're certainly not mutually exclusive. Mutually exclusive means if you have one, you can't have the other. I think the phrase you're looking for is "orthogonal concepts". You can have either, or both, or neither, and the existence of one doesn't imply anything about the existence of the other. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
