I think it's a great idea to eventually get rid of the untagged names altogether, and saving some stat calls is added benefit. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14040> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
