That's quite the distraction from the current thread though. Start discussing it on python-ideas, or submit a code fix, or something in between. But the hackish way that some 3rd party frameworks use (replacing the module object with a class instance in sys.modules) is clearly not right for the standard library (I'll explain on python-ideas if you insist). -- --Guido van Rossum (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
