I'm not sure its a good thing that Python lets you create a program which:

• Takes a list of numbers as input
  
• Converts the strings to integers
  
• Adds the numbers together
  
• Outputs the result

All in a single line, but ****it if that isn't cool.

print(sum([int(data) for data in input('Please enter some numbers ').split(' ')]))

Thats why scripting languages are used a lot for those types of tasks. What takes minutes in a scripting language could take hours in a programming language such as c.

I think it's a really nice feature about scripting languages, it's why I started learning how to script.
