Why can't date and regexes in Python be as succinct as they are in JS?
<ol>
<li>Why is <code>datetime</code> a "child" of itself? Why is it <code>datetime.datetime.now</code> instead of <code>datetime.now</code>?</li>
<li>Why can't I use regex literals like in Javascript? EG <code>/foo/.test('foo')</code></li>
</ol>
