Yeah, people keep bringing that up when they run out of arguments.

So, every programmer must always use the most advanced, most esoteric features possible at every opportunity? Coding should only be for the elite?

There is a place for various levels of programming language. I'm saying that Python which is always touted as a 'simple' language suitable for beginners, is missing a surprising number of basics.

That these are useful is demonstrated by the cumbersome add-ons that need to be used to provide that functionality. Often in over the top ways and often in a bewildering variety of ways in the case of records.
