Well, um, the answer is indeed ("yes", "yes"). But if intended to write code
that just works and runs fast enough I wouldn't be here. :)

Just like many of us I'm quite new to Python. Learning a high level
programming language is a matter of some hours nowadays. What really takes
time is digging into the libraries. And that's what my question aimed at:
learning some new functions and methods.
