Nice idea to have a contest, of course!

What I dislike a bit is the winning criterion:
Shortest possible Python module?
I'm envisioning lots of convoluted one-liners which
are more suitable to a different P-language... :-)

How about """best compromize between shortness and readibility
plus elegance of design"""?
Well, this slightly raises the skill level of the reviewers,
but will clearly make the results more enjoyable...

cheers - chris
