Yes. That doesn't was my intention. I want to post an article to:
http://groups.google.com/groups?th=11ff341f7cc1f6aa
but my post goes directly to comp.lang.python ........

And YES, this isn't a complete benchmark. But I think is a representative
example. I like programing in Python, but it seems that Python people are
always looking to speed things and do things in "strange forms or manner". Why
a example as simple as that runs many times quickly in perl than python? it
doesn't have explication. Two programs syntax are clear and simple....

I expect this post will not to be a "war" between what language is better. I
have write this article for make a better python, a quick python that don't
need usage "strange syntax" (= bad programming) that people use to make quick
programs.
