Just a quick question: how can I add new future keywords to Python? I<br>need to add a new (Python) keyword to the language, but there seems to<br>be a few different source files that I need to modify.<br><br>Just want to make sure I'm doing it the right way before I go unleashing
<br>a nasty broken patch into the world :)</blockquote><div><br>I wouldn't bother with a future statement until your patch has a chance of being included in Python. Adding one later is just as easy as adding one now, and you have a good chance of getting someone else to do it for you. That's what Guido did with the with-statement patch; he got Neal to do it for him ;) But if you really want to do it yourself, I would suggest grokking the with-statement future-import patch I checked in last week (written mostly by Neal Norwitz, with inspiration stolen from Michael Hudson's patch):
