I know a question like "What is Python?" is potentially annoying, but
I'm sure it's less so than reading messages by the surge of idiots
writing about Monty Python and about being the first ones here.

Also, I'm seriously interested (at last until I find out what it's all
about (-:).

I'm particularly interested in hearing about any special control
operators that it might possess, whether its functional (in terms of
side-effects, and in terms of first-class procedures), and so on.

Thank you.
