It is. ;-)

Remember, this isn't VB: you can't leave the parens off when calling a method.
There's no difference between subs and functions in Python, and you must
include the parens if you want to _call_ the function and get the value.
Otherwise you get the function.

It makes sense, it just that you're used to the peculiar MS-way of doing
things. Your mind will heal, don't worry. ;-)
