I think regardless of the chosen style, giving the Python 3 docs a different look and feel also has a psychological benefit that might further encourage users to consider moving to Python 3. It could be a bit of a wake-up call. ___ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com

I think the question of the day is whether the documentation is targeting those who wish to have an understanding of what is happening under the hood, or those that want to take such details for granted. I much prefer the little notes and performance hints. - John ___ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
