I was brought up on C, did a module of Java at uni, and am doing an algorithms course which is python heavy.

My other half - who's quite handy with Python - looks in sheer horror at my code which is littered with semicolons.

I was stumped for half an hour figuring out why the Python interpreter was bouncing an error before it had even reached the main program logic... turns out a { before the block of code royally ruins the interpreter's day.

Still, I live and learn.
