Plot

Carmen lives in a gypsy community in the suburbs of Madrid. Like every other woman she has ever met, she is destined to live a life that is repeated generation after generation: getting married and raising as many children as possible. But one day she meets Lola, an uncommon gypsy who dreams about going to university, draws bird graffiti and likes girls. Carmen quickly develops a complicity with Lola and they discover a world that, inevitably, leads them to be rejected by their families.[3]

gollark: Two different things for globby pattern matching, stupid amounts of different things for paths.
gollark: ```File and Directory Access pathlib — Object-oriented filesystem paths os.path — Common pathname manipulations fileinput — Iterate over lines from multiple input streams stat — Interpreting stat() results filecmp — File and Directory Comparisons tempfile — Generate temporary files and directories glob — Unix style pathname pattern expansion fnmatch — Unix filename pattern matching linecache — Random access to text lines shutil — High-level file operations macpath — Mac OS 9 path manipulation functions```The standard library being weird.
gollark: We have `let`/`const` now.
gollark: This is admittedly not syntax, but is kind of weird.
gollark: For convoluted stuff, see the standard library.
