Avoiding double negatives. (and don't tell me "fail" is not a negative word, because you just used the phrase "positive admonition" to refer to the assert* variants, which implies quite clearly that the fail* variants are on the negative side ;-)) Regards Antoine. _______________________________________________ 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
