Things that struck me as peculiar is the old:

if name == "main": whatever() This is so out of tune with the rest of python it becomes a nuisance.

It is not beautiful but very useful. In Python 3000 we can replace it with:

@main def whatever(): ...

to mark this function as main function if module executed directly.
