Re: [Edu-sig] Setting a variable's value

Any opinions?

I'm generally against making any changes to Python syntax (even when it comes to adding redundant options) where the justification involves "making it easier for kids to..." I don't think that's an appropriate justification for cluttering up the language. On the other hand, it's an open source language and you're perfectly free to customize a classroom edition that does as you describe. It'd be a mutant edition though, not mainstream Python. ...Would be my preference. Kirby
