Sorry. Not trying to be snobbish, only in a hurry.

That answer would have been less useful, because there are TONS of details in the python tutorial, that set the language apart from its "scripting cousins". Reading the syntax and thinking "yeah, got it, boring, next chapter" is a common mistake I've also made sometime, especially with python when I've been deceived by its apparent simplicity.
Then, later, the same happened with Javascript, of course.
And it's bound to happen again, as much as I'll try to be careful :-(
