Would you be adverse to adding it in if it looks useful? I would still *really* prefer that you use a single-file templating module at the expense of template aesthetics and even features. I am still unconvinced that we need more features. You haven't shown me any concrete examples. If we do the features of a larger package that we need to cut down, I'd prefer a package that we can cut down by simply removing files, not one that requires the modification of files. -- Robert Kern "I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth." -- Umberto Eco _______________________________________________ Numpy-discussion mailing list Numpy-discussion@scipy.org http://projects.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
