This would explain why the question is so hard to answer. It is a slam-dunk that Lisp is Zen and VBA is tool - but python really is a bit hard to classify. This is somewhat similar to the way that python seems to straddle the gap between imperative and functional languages. It has something from each worlds (whether it has the *best* from each world is a separate question) -John Coleman -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
