Thanks guys! Your explanations have cleared up things significantly. My transition from C++ to Java to C# was quite painless because they were so similar, but Python is particularly challenging because the concepts are quite different. (I always have this paranoid feeling: "Am I using Python to write Java, or using Python to write Python?")
