Comment on Pattern matching in Python

This adds a neat Prolog-angle to the whole language. Cant wait to see if someone actually makes a complete prolog-module out of this.

While I don't have direct experience with either of these (I just googled for "python prolog backtracking"), you could probably do just as well in idiomatic Python using generators:

I think Peter Norvig has written about this, too.

I'm not sure, I don't think python semantics would support implicit backtracking.
