It's not fair to either Common Lisp or Python, On the contrary python is strikingly similar to a simplified version of lisp without parentesis. It is not an original opinion by far, see the following post of an eminent lisp hacker: http://norvig.com/python-lisp.html Of course lisp is considerably more complex if you begin to use more exotic features, but if you confine yourself to translating python code, it may be almost litteral translation, as explained in the link above. -- Michel TALON
