My crystal ball says that the post you are not quoting is concerned about the security implications of accessing a database as the superuser rather than about spaces surrounding the assignment operator. My crystal ball then starts nitpicking and adds that in the sample chapter user="root" occurs within an argument list where its format is actually required by the PEP: """ - Don't use spaces around the '=' sign when used to indicate a keyword argument or a default parameter value. Yes: def complex(real, imag=0.0): return magic(r=real, i=imag) """ Cheers, Peter -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
