Getting into Python, comming from Perl.

[Miguel Manso]

Hi, list.

I'm into a psicological doubt that I would like to share with you 
(you'll know why later on this mail).

I'm a programmer with 5 year of experience into Perl. I'm on that point 
where you resolve problems without thinking on HOW you'll do it with 
that language but only on the problem itself.

Since Perl 6 started I've been following it. The conclusion I have is 
they're making a whole new language and I'll have to learn it. This 
being said and, since I've to learn a new language, I've started 
thinking in a new language. I've noticed Python is getting more and more 
developers and many projects are being made.

I've tryed to use python some times but I get frustrated very quick. I 
get myself many times needing to figure out how to loop through a list, 
declare an associative array, checking how to pass named parameters to 
functions, and simple things like that.

What I would like to know is if anyone had these problems and if you can 
share that experience with me. I'm trying to minimize my "frustration" :)

Thanks a lot.
