And then you have to compile it and set up your classpath...

I would have used print sum(xrange(11)) myself. This probably has almost 
zero measurable performance impact, but I think using xrange() instead 
of range() is usually a good habit. As you know, xrange() generates ints 
as it is called rather than all at once, which can be quite helpful with 
large ranges.
