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.  What else?
