I would wait until Python 3000 comes out and then judge. Hopefully some of these things will be fixed. The are getting rid of old-style classes, so I have my fingers crossed.
I kind of agree - I find the particulars of class definitions to be quite unintuitive in Python, compared to other languages.
this doesn't bother my support for python. i never use these things in quite these ways mentioned, and now if i do, i can just refer to this page ;p but ya know all languages have some weird things going on.
It's all about subtle bugs that shouldn't be there in the first place. Python is great, but the listed oddities ought to be fixed or very well documented with big red marks.
