I find it odd that you consider qquoting less scalable than backslashes.
Backslashes are scalable because they can be nested to any depth, without
having to decide beforehand which quotes to use at which level. And yes, I
do write things like this:
Scalable for the computers, not the eye...
I also find it odd that you dislike two visuals stutters (at the start

stutters in the string to avoid them. Particular since my years of

Re: TypeError: int argument required
Lawrence D'Oliveiro: So no, using alternative quotes does not make things more readable. You think that this: 'rect x=%f y=%f width=%d height=%d style=fill:blue;stroke:pink;stroke-width:5;fill-opacity:0.1;stroke- opacity:0.9/ ' Isn't a bit more readable and simpler to write than: rect x=\%f\ y=\%f\ width=\%d\ height=\%d\ style=\fill:blue;stroke:pink;stroke-width:5;fill-opacity:0.1;stroke- opacity:0.9\/ I think lot of doesn't agree with you. In such situation it can also be positive to split such string in two or more parts, for example (untested): style = (fill:blue; stroke:pink; stroke-width:5; fill-opacity:0.1; stroke-opacity:0.9) print fo, 'rect x=%f y=%f width=%d height=%d style=%s/ ' % (abs_x, abs_y, w, h, style) Bye, bearophile -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
