[OT] New to Python: Features

[Richard Blackwood]

Oh no, I thought I wrote that accident.  I don't like any brackets or 
else.  I like to write:   foo x, y   or    foo: x,y
I prefer the latter actually.

Are you saying that if I have only one argument then I may drop the 
parenthesis? Naw, your not saying that.
