I'm still looking for a way to get this point across:  the
answer to many questions is, "There's no such thing."  No
one plays the role for Python that Sun plays for Java.  It's
OK to ask; don't always expect simple answers, though.

Or perhaps people mean something by "same" that I don't
understand.
