Welcome! Unfortunately, you probably have a lot of bad habits to
unlearn. Don't use Python like another C, VB or Java. It will cause a
lot of grief, and you'll end up with the idea that Python is slow like
a slug. Python is more like Lisp or Haskell, but with a readable
syntax. There are list comprehensions, generator expressions,
dictionaries, sets, lists, list slicing, lambdas, map, reduce, filter,
closures, etc. They are there to be used, and be used a lot. Learning
to use Python efficiently is what has the steepest learning curve.
