I don't think that's advisable ATM -- again, something we should have done for 3.0, but now it's too late. I really don't want to set a trend where 3.1 is backwards incompatible with 3.0 *except* in cases where we were really planning to kill something in 3.0 and accidentally forgot to quite remove it completely (like cmp()). -- --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
