I'm new to Python, and have been lurking on this list for a while. I just 
wanted to take the opportunity to say that yes, Python is most definitely 
full of surprises. A typical session of mine will be to edit a script, 
think that what I did just couldn't work the way I wrote it ("it can't be 
this easy, but I'll try it..."), and run it for the purpose of seeing what 
the error message is. But then it just works, exactly the way I wanted it 
to! Python is structured similarly to my brainwaves or something.

I've been wanting to find an excuse to announce my presence here by asking a 
useful question. However, all my questions have either been previously 
asked and adequately answered by the good people here, or answerable by 
myself by just playing around with Python interactively.

I find Python (and the Python community) quite refreshing. Thanks to 
everyone on this list for your willingness to help us newbies - you are 
doing a great service.
