The issue, in my view, is that input() (and raw_input()) are almost exclusively relegated to the domain of beginners and tutorials. Real programs almost never use them. As a result, this change just isn't seen to be all that important. If you can figure out where this could have been written so that you would have seen it, I'm sure a documentation change could be made. -- Tim Roberts, t...@probo.com Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
