Paddy McCarthy added the comment: OK, here's a suggested re-wording:
"Python is an interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming language that also supports programming in procedural and functional styles. It incorporates modules, exceptions, dynamic typing, very high level dynamic data types, and classes; but statements are not required to be contained in class definitions and functions are first class - being able to be composed, returned from other functions and be a member of other container types such as dicts, sets, and lists." If that is too long,an alternative would be to delete my addition to the last sentence from "; but classes are not ..." Leaving it to the reader to research just how procedural and functional Python can be. (Where should a programmer, but newbie-to-Python look)? ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue24914> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
