I think all the criticism from that article applies to Python as well.


Not all of them. Python is often stricter in some aspects of the language and in community norms.

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong but the module namespacing helps mitigate this complaint via Twitter:

> Can't figure out how a simple thing works in a codebase with a zillion tiny objects and a billion levels of indirection?

i.e. unless you've gone out of your way to be too clever - you usually know where things in the current namespace came from.
