PEP 3135 is the only one that is grossly wrong. It should be fixed. I originally planned to do so myself (since I wrote the implementation) but find I don't have the time. Volunteers welcome! Regarding the OP's idea that started this thread, it's a waste of time. -- --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/) _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
