No, he actually means "explicit" in the normal English sense. You're trying to use it in the python-ideas sense of "code that I like", and since you don't like it, you want to call it "implicit" instead, but it obviously isn't that, so you call it "syntactic clutter". But this is actually a case of explicit vs implicit. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
