Often the "simple" mode becomes an excuse for lazy developers to turn the "advanced" mode into a painful mess (under the flawed pretext that advanced users can suffer the pain anyway). And if the helper functions are genuinely useful, why would they be only for beginners and students? IMHO, it would be better to label the module "scripting" rather than "beginnerlib" (and why append "lib" at the end of module names anyway? :-)). It might even contain stuff such as encoding guessing. >>> from scripting import raw_input, autotextfile Regards Antoine. _______________________________________________ Python-3000 mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-3000 Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-3000/archive%40mail-archive.com
