You got me all wrong! ; -) => Re: Simple programming language anyone?

On of the coolest parts of Python is that it self-documents.  You write code 
into a module, import that module, then type "help(modulename)" and it 
documents itself.  This works for all importable python modules, limiting the 
importance of searching for documentation on the Internet or in books.

This is functionality rivaled only by Java with its Javadoc, except Javadoc 
requires a separate command that actually reads through a tree of source and 
is rather fickle.  Python's pydoc is quite brilliant and simple to use.
