isn't that taken from SETL?

(the more I look at SETL, the more Pythonic it looks. not too bad for something that was designed in the late sixties ;-)

You've got it backwards: Python's predecessor, ABC, was inspired by SETL -- Lambert Meertens spent a year with the SETL group at NYU before coming up with the final ABC design!
