Add lookup (name resolution) rules, metaclasses, 'magic' methods etc to 
the list then, so you'll get a general view of Python's object model.

This is indeed true. But be assured their are quite a few newbies 
(whether  nwebie to Python or newbie to programming) posting here to 
comment on what they perceive as warts - sometimes making good points, 
sometimes just not knowing enough about the language's inners and/or 
philosophy to understand why what they think is a wart is considered a 
feature by more "advanced" users. As some other contributor (hi Diez !) 
to this thread already mentionned, "Is [Python] perfect? Heck no! But it 
sure is fun enough to deal with the occasional wart."
