[Tutor] list as a first class citizen in python? [languagecomparisons!]

[Karthik Gurumurthy]

thanks ,
from your code snippet, the list thing in perl seems odd though.
everything gets flattened out in the end? unless i do somethign about it.
So this w'd work in perl then??

//function definition
def func(a,b):


//arguments
args = [1,2]
//call function
func(args)

so they don't need an apply as we do in python?
now am not sure which one is better. having learnt java first, i w'd go with
python :-)
am not qualified enough to make comparisons, but i was confused  by these
lines
i found...
