Definition of Pythonic?

[Emmanuel Surleau]

Hi there,

I'm starting an exploratory foray into Python, being generally dissatisfied 
with the Ruby ecosystem (while the language is wonderful, third party 
libraries and documentation are not).

Having written a few trivial scripts in Python, I'm curious as to how you 
would sum up the Pythonic philosophy of development. Judging from Python, it 
seems to exclude (mostly) "magical" variables like '$.'. Is this right? What 
else would you include in this definition?

Cheers,

Emm
