Heheh, that sounds about right. :-D I personally haven't used the new stuff yet. Maybe I'm not experienced enough in Python yet to have encountered the need for them. I've played with them some, but every time I consider using them, something stops me. What stops me from using 'setattr' (an old feature), is that it doesn't fire when a person changes an element of a list... not very intuitive. What stops me from using properties, is seeing how populating a dict using the update method wipes them out... again, not intuitive to me. List comprehensions - REALLY unnecessary. Only handy if you belong to the 'Likes to impress people with small amounts of arcane code' crowd. Sets - when I played with them, they were slower than doing the equivalent code with dicts. It's got to be a reliable, compelling feature, before I'll add it to my arsenal.
