Why does Python code always look like assembly code? Is this just laziness on the coder's part or is Python inherently unreadable?

[kragen]

My experience is the opposite: Python code generally looks like executable pseudocode, the opposite extreme from assembly code. If you're finding this wavelet code unreadable, like I do, most likely it's because you don't understand the math it's implementing, like I don't.

I've always found Python to be pretty readable. Are you just talking about the matrix math, or the rest?

[astazangasta]

All of it. The 40 line methods with no self documenting variables, order or sense.

It's probably transliterated right out of a math textbook into Python.
