Decerators are something I am also not going to count as they aren't going to be the first thing, or even one of the most basic things, you will encounter. It's like counting "register" as a C keyword. It is buy you're likely to be able to go an entire lifetime without seeing it in a codebase.

In Python 2 True and False are not keywords. You can reassign their values. But I see what you mean and yes my list isn't comprehensive. It's an example.

The list would probably be more like (), {}, [], <, >, !, =, \, ',', :, ;, *, and @. For a basic programming experiance you you're probably not going to see or even care about a most of the nitty and gritty ones you describe in the contexts as you describe. You could even avoid using [] and {} by just writing "list()" and "dict()".

Basically I agree but again the point still stands. Python has far less clutter then what is demonstrated here. While python may have many really cool magic single-character operators most of them aren't really in your face. "!=" may be the most in your face one along side ":". In total the clutter is just not dumped all over your code or at least it doesn't seem like it is.
