Thanks, it's very much appreciated. Though, the discussion there opened another can of worms. I'm sorry if I was somehow related to that, my bringing in the formal language spec was more a rhetorical figure, a response to people claiming O(1) requirement. So, it either should be in spec, or spec should be treated as such - something not specified means it's underspecified and implementation-dependent. I'm glad that the last point now explicitly pronounced by BDFL in the last comment of that ticket (http://bugs.python.org/issue21667#msg219824) > > Cheers, > Nick. > > -- > Nick Coghlan | ncogh...@gmail.com | Brisbane, Australia > _______________________________________________ > Python-Dev mailing list > Python-Dev@python.org > https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev > Unsubscribe: > https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/pmiscml%40gmail.com -- Best regards, Paul mailto:pmis...@gmail.com _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
