[wavic]

Easy reading and understanding?

Python is good in expressing things.
If you understand this two functions in less than one minute, it's pythonic :-D
It's like poetry.

def qsum(number):
    result = 0
    number = abs(number)
    while number:
        result += number  % 10
        number //= 10
    return result

def qqsum(number):
    result = qsum(number)
    while result > 9:
        result = qsum(result)
    return result

is pythonic a proper subclass of elegant?

I think so. Maybe pythonic is a subclass of elegant and readable.
