If I'm driving a 2006 model car, I don't rush right out and trade for a 2007 model just because they are available. There's cost and effort involved with changing versions. Not the least is having to retest all your existing applications. Generators now have a different syntax, so some applications would need some updating in order to take advantage of 2.5. The new "with" statement is very cool, though. > I've personally held back just because most of the > documentation I've come across is for 2.4, 100% of this is Python 2.5 documentation: http://docs.python.org/ Very little of it had to change from the last version. -- Sincerely, Chris Calloway http://www.seacoos.org office: 332 Chapman Hall phone: (919) 962-4323 mail: Campus Box #3300, UNC-CH, Chapel Hill, NC 27599 _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
