The fact is, Pythonistas are using python because Java (and C++) did not 
meet their needs. ie, thy are not sheep. They think for themselves. 
Lispniks consider such folk Deeply Worthy.

This thread arose (in a prior incarnation) only because Python merely 
/considered/ macros. Some mis-characterizations of macros arose and a 
few of us swung by to say those characterizations did not match our 
experience. We (I) do not give a rat's ass if Python adopts macros, but 
we have a ball with them and we thought Pythonistas should have the Best 
Information before rejecting them.
