What kind of argument is that? If it was carved in stone, I would not be able to enter it in my computer without rewriting it. So what? The point is that today, I have a reasonable chance of being able to read, understand and edit any Python code. With PEP 3131, it will no more be true. That's what bugs me. > If someone decides to make *his* identifiers in Russian he's taking into > account that none-Russian speakers are not going to be able to read the > code. Same question again and again: how does he know that non-Russian speakers will *ever* get in touch with his code and/or need to update it? -- python -c "print ''.join([chr(154 - ord(c)) for c in 'U(17zX(%,5.zmz5(17l8(%,5.Z*(93-965$l7+-'])" -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
