I think the problem is that you know python so well that you are used
to the way things are and everything seems natural the way it is.
For a newbie, the behaviour I mentioned seems indeed a bit inconsistent.
"Inconsistent" not as in mathematics but as in "wow! I'd thought this
should work like this". Like you have a perception of the language
and then this feature changes everything. It's a different kind of
"inconsistency" and it doesn't give python a bad name or something,
nor does it break the mathematical laws of the universe.

There is no trolling involved here. Maybe wrong use of the english
language. But then again, this is the newgroups and the english
language is ill-used all the time:)
