Exactly!

One sure sign of somebody trying to write C in Python is when they loop 
over a list by doing

for i in range (len (myList)):
   doSomethingWith (myList[i])

or when they laboriously check for every possible error condition before 
performing an operation instead of just doing it and catching the exception.
