I've been playing with Python just two days...and I already have no problem 
with no semicolons.  (Of course, the only other programming language I 
have extensively used is Perl, and that for the past 8 months!)  Unfortunately, 
I tried writing a little Perl script the evening....ooops, I forgot all the damn 
semicolons!

It took me several months to fully acquire the habit.  It took 45 minutes to break.  
Now, how do I get it _back_ in a timely manner??

(The only reason I wrote the script in Perl is because "Programming Python" will t
ake a few days to arrive from Amazon.com.  Grrr.  Where's my matter transporter?)
