Does anyone else feel like Python is being dragged too far in the direction
of long, complex, multiline one-liners?  Or avoiding temporary variables
with descriptive names?  Or using regex's for everything under the sun?

What happened to using classes?  What happened to the beautiful emphasis on
readability?  What happened to debuggability (which is always harder than
writing things in the first place)?  And what happened to string methods?

I'm pleased to see Python getting more popular, but it feels like a lot of
newcomers are trying their best to turn Python into Perl or something,
culturally speaking.
