Ugh, that "at" is too reminiscent of java. And it just feels wrong to spell it "chr" rather than "char" when there's a vowel elsewhere in the name. Hmm... how offensive to the zen of python would it be to have "magic" to allow both bytes.chr(65) and b'ABCDE'.chr[0]? (and possibly also iter(b'ABCDE'.chr)? That is, a descriptor which is callable on the class, but returns a view on instances? _______________________________________________ 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
