Perhaps I'm missing something, but won't that imply that every module which wants to use a "special" module type has to re-invent the wheel? If this feature is going to be used, I would expect to be able to re-use pre-written module types. E.g. having written "module with properties" (so to speak) once, I can just import it and use it in my next project. -- Steven _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
