My problem with this is that it isn't a "name". It should grammatically be a test (i.e. it can take on the expression any function argument could take). How do you spell "getattr(self, 'req_' + state)" with that arrow? You need some kind of grouping delimiters to make this operator be a syntax benefit otherwise you didn't shorten anything. -Scott -- Scott Dial [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ 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
