For direct entry by an interactive user, yes. Why are some people in this discussion thinking only of direct entry by an interactive user? Input to a program comes from various sources other than direct entry by the interactive user, as has been pointed out many times. > Please, give us just *one* more real use case that isn't "somebody > might". Input from an existing text file, as I said earlier. Or any other way of text data making its way into a Python program. Direct entry at the console is a red herring. -- \ “First things first, but not necessarily in that order.” —The | `\ Doctor, _Doctor Who_ | _o__) | Ben Finney _______________________________________________ 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
