As for the distinction of dict/set/tuple/list or one single table data type(which can be used as either dict or list and implemented as set, not sure about tuple), it is up to debate. Though I have mentioned in another post that the batteries in Python is extremely appealing to solve real world problems as no matter how good a language can be, re-implementing something from scratch is always a pain(and error prone). -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
