That, plus the way that there are such lovely functional structures, like 'zip' and 'map' and list comprehensions, that let you condense long complicated loops into simple mathematical expressions. It's a thing of beauty.
I've just finished doing some coding in Java and Python and the Python way is clearer. Maps in Java are still a bit broken (though improved in the 1.5 SDK). Maybe I will change my mind if I ever have to write anything > 1000 lines in python because I still don't fully grok python OO.
