Obviously there will never be total unanimity about every tiny thing. I haven't anywhere in this thread as far as I know suggested eliminating dynamism from Python, which would be in "that's not Python any more" territory. But, in the dozens of class definitions I write in any given day of coding, I might use the dynamism we're talking about in 1% of them at most. If having to type a few extra keystrokes on that 1% improves program reliabiity AND performance, it certainly seems worth it to me. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
