This "fail is a negative word" has already been rebutted, by native speakers of English. If you don't want to hear "fail is not a negative word", I can't help you. This doesn't seem to introduce anything new, so I'll leave the existing summary of this argument as is in the PEP. -- \ “Holy unrefillable prescriptions, Batman!” —Robin | `\ | _o__) | Ben Finney _______________________________________________ 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
