=46rom a newbie perspective this makes lots 'o sense. I know it took me a=
 lot=20
longer than it should have way back when to figure out how to get the lis=
t of=20
objects a folder contains.

I think making people use an adapter just to get the behavior in a "pytho=
nic"=20
way is nonsensical. And defeats the purpose of having the capability at a=
ll=20
IMHO.

Wouldn't it be cool to write:

for object in folder:
  object.somethingorother()
