Neat. I think I see a few echoes of De Stijl esthetic in Python. "Proponents of De Stijl sought to express a new utopian ideal of spiritual harmony and order. They advocated pure abstraction and universality by a reduction to the essentials of form and colour" from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_stijl The group was one of the best things to come out of the Great Stupid War. I wonder who is next. Van Doesburg, the group's BDFL?
