While you've dutifully searched the horizon for such intrusion, the rot has been quietly happening from within ;-). Nested scopes, first-class functions and closures, internal lambdas, and lazy evaluation streams (iterators) are all Schemish incursions into Python. List comprehensions and genexps come from even further in the functional-programming "beyond". Soon Python will implement a type system based on the Lambda Cube, well maybe not. :) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
