I said "challenge", not "deny". If you're new to Python and you are
twiddling bits, the odds favor the new user falsely importing old
paradigms from other languages, not needing to do the twiddling. Of
course, in lieu of a problem specification, that's all we can say.

I stand by my message. (And before you jump on this one, please understand
that I use language precisely; unlike a lot of people, when I say "odds
favor", I mean just that. It is not code for "not a chance in hell" or
"absolutely".)
