Hello. Little amusing offtopic. ;)

   There is a nice idead pointed to by /. - a file with a program(s) that
solves a Perl Golf job. The amusing part is that the file contains the
program in 4 different languges!

   BTW, the idea of Perl Golf is interesting, but unapplied to Python. It
is possible to write short ugly programs in Python, but I would not to make
them the goal of a contest.
   I'd better see a contest for "Python elegance", but unfortunately
"elegance" is hard (though not impossible) to measure.

Oleg.

           Programmers don't die, they just GOSUB without RETURN.
