High abstraction level
I am missing a useful comment on the fact that since it is a very high-level interpreted scripting language, it is not as fast as a compiled program.

- I think the issue is a little more complicated, because python code can theoretically be JIT-compiled, which would make it run at the speed of a natively compiled program. I'm not sure about the current state of compilers/VMs though. But the statement is indeed true of CPython. --Ion Alexandru Morega 07:05, 1 August 2007 (CDT)
- I have some, quite positive, personal experience in time-consuming Python programs; thus I add a section "Run-time efficiency". Boris Tsirelson 14:39, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
Article name
This should be at Python (programming language), no? J. Noel Chiappa 10:07, 10 March 2008 (CDT)
Illustrations?
Perhaps Image:Python-cheat-sheet-v1.png may be of use here. Daniel Mietchen 21:36, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
