Over the time I've seen lots of remarks about python that read like "a lot like lists in lisp" or "like the hashtable in java" or any other form of "like <feature> in <language>".
Are there any concepts that python has not borrowed, concepts that were not even inspired by other languages? I'm just interested if it is "merely" a best-of collection of language features or if there are actually inventions that have not - or hardly - existed in programming before python? wildemar -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
