This is not a convincing statement. Who is going to define what is
Pythonic and what is not? My understanding of that term was that it
can only refer to programs (e.g. a function could do something in
a Pythonic way - namely, if that is how other Python practitioners
would have written it). The language itself is by nature Pythonic -
even if it would add curly braces. Of course, Pythonic version 2.4
differs from Pythonic version 1.4.
