Can you summarize, Steven?
The make statement was mostly syntactic sugar for:: class <name> <tuple>: __metaclass__ = <callable> <block> So was technically unnecessary from the beginning. ;) Here's the one post where he presented a few reasons he didn't like it: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-3000/2006-April/000704.html He didn't say a whole lot else about it, but when he mentioned that he'd like the discussion to end, I offered to end it. ;) STeVe -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
