With python is not the same. Even if the developers is truly bad and do a mess, is a decipherable mess. Requiere truly talent to do a hard-to-understand mess in

  > Requiere truly talent to do a hard-to-understand mess in python, and in that case, is very likely the code was made by a good developer ;) Last I checked, the whole "if it was hard for me to write, it should be hard for others to understand" was still a mockery, not a seriously-interpreted excuse. It ignores the fact that the programmer's future self will eventually need to maintain that code. The developer might have skill, but one who writes unmaintainable messes as anything other than a Perl-golf-style mental exercise probably lacks wisdom. :)

  Could provide a example on python of non-intentional bad code, like the kind that could be write by a perl coder, that make them not understand it a week later? Because that is the issue I was talking about is rare in python. Is true that is possible to write bad in any language, but certainly is harder in some of them
