Whose pseudocode? I have not once written pseudocode that looks like Python, though apparently this is odd. In high school pseudocode was BASIC with structured control flow.

I tend towards pseudo-SML for scribbling things; once got in trouble for using "language specific constructs" like map() for university work. They weren't a fan of APL for adjacency matrix munging either, though that's how I went through that part of the course. In either case pseudocode is just ignoring the unpretty parts of any language, and it can hardly be said any language is more like pseudocode.
