So I have been re-reading some of the python intro stuffs after a time
away philandering with other languages. I have been thinking about the
Zen of Python piece where it says 'namespaces are a honking great idea
- let's do more of those'.

A question -- since then do we have any sort of list of major
innovations like that? Do we keep any sort of 'honking great idea
list' anywhere? Or maybe folks could suggest what some of those
milestones have been over time?

I think a 'honking great list' of python innovations would be fun ...
maybe presumptuous, but fun anyways. :P
