What we've been pointing > out to you is that Python's way *does* make sense - just a different > sense from the one you're expecting. I find the above a very defensive attitude. People are mostly not very accurate in how they put things into words. People tend to say that something was delicious instead of saying that they found it delicious. So when someone declares as aspect of python to be bizarre I interpret that as an indication of what impression that aspect made on that person instead of some declaration of fact. So stop feeling attacked because someone found something bizarre. You also seem to think that bizarre contradicts making sense. It is entirly possible to understand what is going on and still find it bizarre that the designers allowed for certain kinds or result. > If you want to call Python's system "bizarre", you have to show more > than just that your expectations weren't matched by the language.

No I don't have to show any such thing. There are things with an internal sense of consistency that can be found utterly bizarre. I also find it telling that you go from me talking about someone thinking that what is going on in a specific aspect of python being bizarre, to regarding such a person as calling Python's system "bizarre", as if judging one aspect is like judging the whole system. -- Antoon.
