Come sit on the couch for a moment.  It's not that Python is strange, but
that you are a stranger to Python.  This same kind of curve happens anytime
you go from a familiar language to an unfamiliar language

Basically, when you're good with Perl, you start to think of every task in
terms of regular expression matches.  When you're good with Python, you
start to think of every task in terms of lists and tuples.

Stick with it, and you'll start thinking Pythonically in no time.
