Can we consider an environment variable to change the direction of the permutation, e.g. PYTHONIMAGINARYPERMUTATIONDIR=-1? Otherwise +11j from me. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10562> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
