mothra, honestly, what did you expect? Posting
a pro-Python screed in a pro-Perl community, then
stomping off to sulk when the responses you get don't
meet your expectations of Python background knowledge
is like whacking a wasp nest with a baseball bat, then
complaining when you get stung.
And if you're going to give Python plusses for the
bits of its syntax that are terser than Perl's, you
might want to consider Perl constructs that are terser
than Python's equivalents. I have no first-hand
experience with Python, so I can't really comment, but
I'm told that regex matching and interpolating variables
into strings are much more cumbersome in Python than in
Perl. More propaganda?

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
