Let me say it again then, although I do not know why it threatens people 
so much: the syntax of boo is indeed virtually identical to python's. 
That is what I said and what is clear from the website.

I already stated that I will not mention boo again, to comply with 
Fredrik's wishes and yours.  I will refer to CPython, and CPython only. 
  But I will not be intimidated by the likes of Fredrik Lundh.  Trollers 
will be held accountable.  If it continues at this pace, then I suggest 
a weekly troll alert, to educate and prepare the so-called newbies for 
the behavior that occurs on this list.
