I tend to agree with you. sys.stdin feels like some musty academic coming in, trying to "prettify" in the sense of nail down according to some vogue theory. Takes away a raw edge. Most think that's a *good* thing, but I'm not so sure. Feels like creeping bureaucracy. But remember, we can always pick a "golden age" version and stick to it. Maybe it's 2.5 for all I know. This 3000 thing could be an "over the hill" version for party hacks and kiss asses (trying to ingratiate themselves with an ancient BDFL). ;-) On the other hand, this is my first time to give the matter much thought. Remember too, can't we always write and include a module like "retro" wherein we go raw_input = sys.stdin.readline and then continue on our merry way? Call it a "soft fork"? Kirby
