> homoiconicity

Python is not homoiconic but the ast module allows for wicked stuff.

> Error (managing numeric Imprecision)

Python decimal module does not handle precision error but handles significance, so that(from the doc) "for instance, 1.3 * 1.2 gives 1.56 while 1.30 * 1.20 gives 1.5600". This underrated module also does much more.

Anyway I feel this precision stuff might be a job for numpy/scipy.
