Really?  I mean, it's obviously more complicated than that, but can you 
for the most part map C++ to Python codeblock-for-codeblock?

I'm liking Python more and more the more I learn about it.  I was sold 
on the interpreter (nothing like an interpreter to help you see what's 
going on in your programs!), but now I'm learning about classes and it 
seems to be a pretty neat feature that PHP doesn't really have (it 
imitates classes somehow but they are limited).
