At one time one could have reacted the same when people suggested python could use a ternary operator. In the mean time a ternary operator is in the pipeline. If you don't want to discuss how python could be different with me, that is fine, but I do no harm discussing such things with others. > have any of your "my mental model of how Python works is more important > than how it actually works" ever had a point ? Be free to correct me. But just suggesting that I'm wrong doesn't help me in changing my mental model. -- Antoon Pardon -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
