Oops.  I heard somewhere that this is actually Perl's forte, whereas
Python's motto is (AFAIK) "There should be _one_ and _only_ one reasonable
way..."

To thread en masse:

But does it matter anyway?  The OP needs to find his own niche in (or
apart from) the programming world.  A person cannot be made to
appreciate Python anymore than I can convince a person against his will
that Perl actually has valuable traits.  ;)
