For me, Python works about the same as I would write pseudocode, so I >found it really easy to get started with. More advanced features like >lambda expressions and list comprehensions are harder to grasp, but you don't have to use them yourself.

Yep. My experiences are some sort of similar. I have played more than a year now with Zope and possibly half a year with Python. Python was never that much the problem -- it took some time to realise what is shared and when an object is actually copied etc. Zope itself standed a more mysterious piece of work for longer. Then suddenly the source code - or atleast parts of it - started to make sense. Python structures made sense, and after that things started to click into their places. There are still things that in Python bite into my anckle from time to time, but I feel that I am learning -- and for most of time my job is not to code that much in Python, but to do scripts that utilize the best parts of other peoples' great modules or products. And yes. I do love Zope. -huima
