Any other Python flaws?

I was updating my page of possible Python design flaws
(http://www.amk.ca/python/writing/warts.html) last night to take 2.1
into account.  2.1's nested scoping fixes one major wart, and the
other major one, the type/class dichotomy, might get fixed in 2.2 if
the descr-branch in CVS turns out well.  (It's neat that the two
largest ones may both get fixed before 2001 is out.)

That leaves the remaining warts as minor wibbling about 'do'
statements, print >>, and the like.  Are there any other flaws that
should be added?
