Well... there *is* a finer tool:  Clipper :-).  But those are pretty
close, both being xBase dialects.  However, Clipper besides having a
moderately better syntax, also has a multi-platform Free Software
implementation called Harbour.

That said, I still like Python better.  It may not be *quite* as agile
at manipulating relational tables, but for most everything else it's a
bit better.
