IMHO Python is an programming environment where you can chose the right 
approach for your particular problem. Because it seems to favour clarity 
over classification purity, it can not be so easily defined. This 
approach should be fine for everybody unless you are the type that 
insist on using one approach because in theory it should be suitable for 
everything.
