They have different purposes; use whichever is appropriate for the context. This isn't an official Python developer position. But all of ‘-’, ‘–’, ‘—’, ‘−’, etc. have distinct and common meanings in English text. So it's a mistaken idea to think of “which dash is preferable” since they are *all* preferable for their distinct uses. -- \ “Science doesn't work by vote and it doesn't work by | `\ authority.” —Richard Dawkins, _Big Mistake_ (The Guardian, | _o__) 2006-12-27) | 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
