Actually, it works quite well.... The thing perl has that python doesn't
though, is namespace
protection... for example, I'm working on a set of MIDI modules... well, I
can set it up so
to use my stuff you do "import midi".. but that'll conflict with the midi
stuff already out
there... CPAN would have encouraged me and the other MIDI author to name our
modules "midi.hisversion" and "midi.myversion"....

which is not to say that we can't do that in python, but... well, nobody
does...
