No, and that's intentionally so, because beauty is not absolute or quantifyable (even if there are extreme cases where we can all agree). All uses of pythonic should be explicitly qualified by "IMO" or something equivalent. And you can't assume that everybody automatically assumes this! Your recent posts seemed out of line to me only because you were being very argumentative and at the same time exposed serious misunderstanding (*). That's usually a clue to back off... High frequency posters are only okay if their posts have a high information content. (*) Which you acknowledged, but in messages showing more poor form by containing many dozens of lines of quoted material followed by a single "I see". --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)
