That's funny. To me magic is implicit by definition and Python strikes me as a very magical language compared to something like Java that is way more explicit.

Until you start using frameworks like Spring and then everything is so painfully magic that no one knows how the program actually runs.

Magical language how? And you should see what reflection based Java monstrosities do in the background.
