No doubt that we, you and me and everybody, could all have our own little version of Python. :-) To tell all the truth, the very topic of your suggestion has already been discussed in-house already, and the decision has been to stick to Python mainstream. We could not justify to our administration that we start modifying our sources, in such a way that we ought to invest maintainance each time a new Python version appears, forever. On the other hand, we may reasonably guess that many people in this world would love being as comfortable as possible using Python, while naming identifiers naturally. It is not so unreasonable that we keep some _hope_ that Guido will soon choose to help us all, not only me. -- François Pinard http://pinard.progiciels-bpi.ca _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
