Neat.  I think I see a few echoes of De Stijl esthetic in Python.

"Proponents of De Stijl sought to express a new utopian ideal of spiritual 
harmony and order. They advocated pure abstraction and universality by a 
reduction to the essentials of form and colour" from 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_stijl

The group was one of the best things to come out of the Great Stupid War.

I wonder who is next.  Van Doesburg, the group's BDFL?
(I know... wait ;-)
