Part of the point of the proposal is to be able to use existing keywords (at least, I thought it was).
Mainly it's so that *new* keywords can be added to the language without breaking old code. Nobody is going to want to turn one of the currently existing keywords into a name. However, it might be desirable for calling APIs of another language which has a different set of keywords. Personally I don't really care if "from foreignlib import and" works and clobbers the "and" operator for the rest of the module. I was just suggesting a milder version of the feature that some people might be more comfortable with. -- Greg _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list Python-ideas@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-ideas Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
