I don't think Python assumes the coder is a moron, nor does Eiffel, nor do you judging from your fine pigs-fly-just-fine quote <wink>. But I wonder what things you have in mind when you state that Python tie's your hands compared to say Perl? Perl's integration of regexs comes to mind. Okee, but I like the added readability.
