Oh, but don't fool yourself into thinking that that's not a language change -- and an extremely drastic one at that. Nobody will be able to read other people's source code any more without first applying the conversion tool -- which is kind of painful when you're confronted with a code snippet in email or a book, for example. Let me rephrase that. I don't believe your proposal solves that problem, *and* I don't think it's a good idea for other reasons. Am I clear now? :-) -- --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/) _______________________________________________ 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
