Well... I'd formulate it another way: many classic design patterns are 
either builtins or simply obvious in Python, so they are barely 
identifiable as such - at least if you fail to decouple the *design* 
pattern from it's canonical implementation(s). Remember that design != 
implementation !-)

Indeed. And when you use one, try to implement it the pythonic way...
