>This post is surprisingly confused, it is phrased as a complaint about the language, then immediately degrades into CPython implementation-specifics that have little bearing on the actual usability of the language itself. Ronacher says: "Python is definitely a language that is not perfect. However I think what frustrates me about the language are largely problems that have to do with tiny details in the interpreter and less the language itself. These interpreter details however are becoming part of the language and this is why they are important." He is right, Python has not real standard with clearly defined semantics. Actually, the standard is CPython, but CPython is full of crap that other implementations are then forced to implement thus making that crap part of the language. You should avoid Python at any cost, into the trash it goes.
