Well if that is what they can do in Python I'd hate to see
their C++! They have done a great job making Python code read
like Perl. This looks like something you'd see in an
assignment at uni; "Decipher this Python code and port to your
language of choice" :)
Apart from the slur on Perl, I have to agree with this. Using a
dreadful bit of Python code is the start of a downward spiral
of expectation and programming in other languages.
As noted earlier, I am working on a nicer rendering of this
algorithm, and will be happy to share if people are interested.
I'd be interested in seeing the result.
