c.l.py isn't just for the experts; if you have a question along the
lines of "here's something I do in Lisp, how do I do it in Python?",
you're entirely on-topic.

Also, most of us are happy to explain why Python does things in certain
ways -- as with Lisp, the more you wrap your mind into the Python Way,
the easier you'll find your work.

Note that neither of these is "why isn't Python more like Lisp?", that's
where you get into futility territory.  ;-)
