Yes, and there are people who insist on drinking and driving, that doesn't mean cars should be designed with that as a motivating assumption. There are just too many places where you are going to get name clashes, where something which is _obvious_ in one context will have a different ( and _obvious_ ) meaning in another. Lets just keep the namespaces clean, and not worry about inter-module conflicts. -- Crutcher Dunnavant <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> littlelanguages.com monket.samedi-studios.com _______________________________________________ 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
