I vaguelly recall hearing that Guido thought about adding macros to Python, and rejected the idea because he didn't want users to have to deal with compile-time errors at run time. Or something to that effect. That doesn't sounds like "hates" to me. More like "doesn't like the baggage." <mike -- Mike Meyer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
