yep ... "it just works most of the time" ...

I remain bitter. My former boss forced me to use python ZSI for a Web
Service client. It was terrible.  Python's dynamic typing couldn't tell if
something was a string or an array. The code it generated made looking at
legacy perl scripts a joy.

For python lovers in my office, I designed a T-shirt:

Python

it's a string ...
no, it's an array ...
no, a string ...
um ... no, an array ...
