Yes, you touched something. IMHO, Python has far more built-in features so it looks at least complicated from time to time. For example, some people use "generating 9x9 multiplication table" as an programming exercise. What interest me is a one liner: print '\n'.join(['\t'.join(['%d*%d=%d' % (j,i,i*j) for i in range(1,10)]) for j in range(1,10)]) I don't like code like this. But Python at least allow such practise. > But on the whole, python is a pretty beautiful language.
