You say "Use a modern editor" And you use emacs?? Heh!! And its not just that emacs is one of the oldest pieces of software in use today that I am talking of Its decades of crud that really gets me eg. What do Control-X/C mean on any App of your choice today? And what do they mean in emacs? JFTR I am an emacs user for some 20+ years Its just that not only do my 20- year old students not tolerate emacs, of late they stop tolerating me if I use emacs!! What do they prefer as an editor? Gawd knows! Web browser maybe?? More likely a phone... -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
