Really? Have you observed this? Even if it was inserted by mistake, it is harmless. Python has a long tradition of allowing redundant trailing commas in comma-separated lists, and it is habit-forming. That's the issue the OP had: he expected it to work in the one context where it doesn't. -- --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
