These are the points that IMO are the problems. TypoScript has grown
from something pretty simple into something quite complex. And complex
things require a certain amount of complexity as it were.

I wouldn't know about that I'm afraid. I've been trying to read the
tutorial at python.org, but I keep running out of patience with it. It's
a bit too much "Look, shiny stuff!" and too little stuff about how
python actually works. As soon as I get the spare time (and the money)
I'm going to get Programming Python from O'Reilly tho'. I was very
satisfied with Programming Perl, and I think Programming Python will be
good as well.
