I said that, "as possible". You draw it at the limit of possibility. : No decorators, as they're not intuitively obvious? No custom : descriptors, as that requires a deeper knowledge of Python internals : that utter ignorance allows? When they help clarify or simplify the code, they are good. When they do nothing of the sort, they aren't. : Both of those aspects alone seem far more complex and advanced than : treating empty collections as False. Probably, but they also seem far more useful. -- :-- Hans Georg -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
