Googling for "python is not java" may be a good start. Also, here are 2
common C-style smells:
1/ using explicit indexing instead of iteration:
C-smell :
for i in range(len(seq)):
do_something_with(seq[i])
Pythonic:
for item in seq:
do_something_with(item)
# or if you need the index too:
for i, item in enumerate(seq):
do_something_with(i, item)
2/ functions that returns a status code and modify their arguments. The
pythonic way is to have the function return multiple args and raise an
exception if something went wrong
