This is usually expressed an as a positive offset from the time hell freezes over, but people vary in their estimation of both parts. At a minimum, it requires that Guido first get a job where he can concentrate on Python development. That will happen when hell freezes over, but may happen before then.

No, although some naturally avoid dubious features without being threatened <wink>. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
