Re: which feature of python do you like most?

I've never used Perl, but I know other c-like laguages, and I can tell
you what I like about python:

- It is concise, clear and to the point.
- No useless characters like curly braces and semicolons cluttering it
syntax,.
- Very readable and elegant.
- One obvious way to do each task, not thousands (easier to learn,
easier to remember), and this way is shorter, easier and more
straightforward than any other.
- Great built-in data structures.
- And all of its features, but very specially, list comprehensions and
slicing. I can't live without them!
