In fact, there would be another reason to change the prompt in Py3k: to identify Py3k snippets and tell them from Python 2.x snippets. When people will really start using Py3k, and will start sending mails with interpreter sessions in them, or publish blog entries or whatnot, I think it would be useful if you could immediately, no-brainy tell whether it's Python 2.x or Py3k. > Just set sys.ps1 = "-->" if you want something different.

The problem is not *my* environment, but when I read mails posted by others. -- Giovanni Bajo Develer S.r.l. http://www.develer.com _______________________________________________ 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
