I agree that Guido van Rossum has done an excellent job. That doesn't mean he has to be painted as unfailable in which the ideais he accepts are good ideas and those he rejects are bad ideas almost by definition. Guido has been known to change his mind, which is an admirabele quality, but it does show that at some point he rejected a good idea or accepted a bad idea. -- Antoon Pardon -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
