Actually, python's scoping is one of my biggest problems. The fact that the scoping of a variable can change in odd ways. Consider:

import time

def main():
   print time.clock()

   time = 1

main()

This program produces an error on the "print" line, yet if you comment out the "time = 1" line it works. This means you have to read a whole function before you can determine the scope of a variable. Being someone who controls scopes carefully so that typos are more easily found, it all feels weird.
