Not great at what?

I agree that Python is not great at anything specifically, but it is good at almost everything, and that's what makes it great.

    which is nicer?

        float(len(str))

    or

        str.len().float()
    

    Also, there's numerous ways of doing the same thing, despite that being contrary to python's philosophy
