:Hi Alain, There is a difference in the approaches in that the Python way leverages the rigorousness in the spec and makes at least that part of the spec directly executable. In what can be meticulous industries of Science and Engineering when given an executable spec it is good to automate its use in the most direct way, because as the implementation of the spec firms one can worry more on the spec itself rather than a continuing human step of spec translation which is more likely to waver, (due to job changes, holidays, alcohol abuse, ... for example :-)
:I guess people decide for themselves which is "simpler". Does my solution reflect badly on the Python language in comparison with others? I don't think so. For example: One criticism of Python is in how it supports regular expressions - Ruby and Perl have direct syntactical support for regular expressions; Python has the re library and r-strings. The Python example shows that despite being different, Python still has excellent support for regular expressions including the ability to use multi-line regexps with named groups.

::Hi, I wouldn't say your solution reflects badly at all, if only because you used comprehensions which are usually a very elegant way of programming.
::Besides, I found that the use of a dictionary would not simplify much the code, as once created, the dictionary has keys which are ordered alphabetically and not in the order they were introduced. So the iteration on these keys does not usually give the intended behavior: After all the use of a dictionary would not be "simpler" as I thought it would.
: And this is true for CoffeeScript too: I still have to find how to program it yet...
