Yes. A large part of learning a language is discovering the many idioms 
that have already been established for doing certain things. These are a 
kind of shorthand, established by long convention, that allow one to 
avoid the "learning-by-use" curve. When I first came to Python that was 
a very rewarding aspect of this newsgroup.

To this day it remains one of the friendliest tech-spots in cyberspace.
