Quoth Arthur <ajsiegel at optonline.com>:
...
| Can't it be said, in helping to distinguish a Python list from the
| standard collections in, say, Java and C++ - that among its most
| important attributes is the ease with which one can work with a list
| as a collection of objects of *heterogenous* type. "Type" here being
| used in the sense that programmers generally use the word.
|
| In exploring Python early on, I found this to be a core feature, and a
| real attraction.
|
| Am I missing something again?

I think so, but if it's that you're actually missing the dozen or
so posts on this topic today, perhaps you can find them on Google.
Otherwise, don't know what to say.
