I'd be careful with that definition for newbies though. There's nothing more frustrating (as a newbie myself) when Python (or anything else) is compared to something as a way to explain it, yet I have no idea what the other things are either! A programming newbie won't know about, and maybe won't even have heard of, those other languages. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
