Good God! Is there *anything* that python does not already do? I hardly 
feel the need to write programs anymore ...
Its really 80% like of the questions that are asked here get answered 
along the lines of:

import some_fancy_module

solution = some_fancy_module.exactly_the_right_function_to_solve(problem)



Kinda scary ... :)
