Greg, How did you know that was the method I used to indicate I had properly debugged and tested a line of code?
a = 5; pass b = 7; pass c = a * b; pass Then I switched to using comments: a = 5 # pass b = 7 # pass c = a * b # fail And would you believe it still worked! OK, I am just kidding if anyone is taking this seriously. -----Original Message----- From: Python-list <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Greg Ewing via Python-list Sent: Thursday, February 23, 2023 1:28 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: semi colonic On 23/02/23 1:58 pm, [email protected] wrote: > Would anything serious break if it was deprecated for use as a > statement terminator? Well, it would break all the code of people who like to write code that way. They might get a bit miffed if we decide that their code is not serious. :-) On the other hand, if they really want to, they will still be able to abuse semicolons by doing this sort of thing: a = 5; pass b = 7; pass c = a * b; pass Then everyone will know it's some really serious code! -- Greg -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
