Sure, but non of those things made it a bad language, or where really unreasonable things to have left out.

There is a big difference between unreasonable and bad.

Python was always a good language because it was basically the same pseudocode we all scribbled on blackboards anyway -- with the added advantage that computers could execute it.

I just found 1.x to be unreasonable. I also find 3.x unreasonable for unreasonable reasons.

For me it's lack of lexical scoping.
