Do you really think it's more worthwhile than the benefits provided by type inference, least of which isn't the ability by IDEs to provide you accurate code completion. Also, Python is not a monolithic entity. Guido certainly isn't going to write a better IDE for Python, so the time used on language features isn't removed from improving the infrastructure around the language. -- Ville Vainio http://tinyurl.com/2prnb -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
