For what it's worth, I have come around to really enjoying the more recent versions of python, and it's what I'm writing most at the moment, but I totally agree with you here. I don't think of python as being explicit and having only one way to do things. I think that's a pretty inevitable result of trying to both add new things and also keep older things for compatibility.
