Illuminating Python

As a counter to a thread that just asked for an obfuscated Python
contest, I looked up the antonyms and would like to propose that
Pythonistas should rather engage in an 'Illuminating Python' contest.

The Idea being to submit working examples of Python code that
illuminate a concept, algorithm, idea, or Python programming itself,
to other programmers, not neccessarily Python programmers.

The result should be healthy debate on style, clarity, Occams razor
etc and should gather together examples that can be used as a showcase
for Python.

(Or I could just get on with writing 'my killer app' :-)

Cheers, Pad.
