The main point seems to be "I don't like it". If you consider this a strong argument against the concrete issues with the functional API, then good for you. > Guido publicly asked to decide in favor of the > functional API, and we added an explicit warning about pickling (which was > lifted from the docs of pickle itself). This is not true. The pickling restrictions which have been raised are specifically caused by the functional syntax, something which your warning omits. > If you feel this has to be > discussed further, please open a new thread.

(but apparently you would very much like to sweep those issues under the carpet in the name of "bikeshedding") Regards Antoine. _______________________________________________ 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
