I just started watching python-ideas today, and have a lot of things going on, plus real bad ADD, so I'm having a hard time reassembling the solutions being referred to… (maybe there's a web presentation that gives a better threaded presentation than my mail program? Or maybe I'm daff. Either way, this sounded interesting!)<div><br></div><div>In summary, then, the Q/A below is referring to which approach? <br><div apple-content-edited="true">
