Dijkstra's problem (paraphrased) is that python, by choosing the FORTRAN alternative of having a non-first-class boolean type, hinders scientific/mathematical thinking/progress.
Python doesn't have the flaw that Dijkstra was talking about. Fortran's flaw wasn't so much the lack of a boolean type, but that you couldn't assign the result of a logical expression to a variable. Python has always been able to do that, even before it had a distinct boolean type. -- Greg -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
