Interesting talk on Python vs. Ruby and how he would like Python to have just a bit more syntactic flexibility.

If this style of programming were useful, we would all be writing Lisp
today. As it turned out, Lisp is incredibly difficult to read and
understand, even for experienced Lispers. I am pleased that Python is
not following Lisp in that regard.

for n in range(1,6):
    square = n*n
    cube = n*n*n
    if square == 25 or cube == 64: continue
    print cube
