Tom, great angle for deprogramming python programmers. it was these kinds of counter intuitive traps that eventually caused me to drop python and forget most of what I once knew. and worse, the way that community creates work arounds and idioms which insure many of these gotchas remain in the language and culture. as if they all were intentional and supported by some advanced logic.
it would be fun to list another dozen or two of them but I will spare OE the bandwidth in case some rouge python programmer or google employee decides to argue the point.
