Note that in both counting and listing the object of the operation is not an element. It is a set, and set membership is the most important aspect of the elements for that purpose. The values of the elements (including whether they even have a value) is not relevant to either of those operations. On the other hand, if you *are* going to access (constant!) values by name, I don't see any reason to restrict the domain to integers. Nor do such named constants need to be members of any set in many cases. _______________________________________________ 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
