I can't help myself... I think Perl 6 is easier to read than Python... so I toook the best practices here and added Perl 6 translations instead.

README FIRST!

Okay, so I'm not really trying to one-up Python (well, maybe just a little). I think Python, especially Python 3, is a very able language and use it for a several projects. I also appreciate the work of Raymond Hettinger and Jeff Paine in putting together these best practices and summarizing them, respectively.

However, I think Perl 6 has a truly ingenious syntax that has taken 15+ years to assemble from lessons learned from 20+ years of language development in Perl preceding it and hundreds of years of experience from other languages.
