Thanks Serhiy and Chris Useful list(s). Of course some of these were on mine Some I had forgotten or taken for granted (large integers by default) And some are not exactly my favorite (chained comparisons) Still others may appreciate... I was also looking for more specific things Particularly OOP Yes *args helps where one would need overloading and multiple constructors in C++ A bit confused by factories which seem to be all the thing in java but not python Decorators-for-DSLs... any good egs? -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
