Typically when you ask people about esoteric features that seemingly don't affect them but might be useful to someone, the majority will say yes. Its simply common courtesy, its is not like they have to do anything. At the same time it takes some mental effort to analyze and understand all the implications of a feature, and without taking that effort "something" will always beat "nothing". After the first time that your programmer friends need fix a trivial bug in a piece of code that does not display correctly in the terminal I can assure you that their mellow acceptance will turn to something entirely different. i. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
