[Python-Dev] one more restriction for from __future__ import ...

In addition, all future_statments must appear near the top of the module. The only lines that can appear before a future_statement are:

+ The module docstring (if any). + Comments. + Blank lines. + Other future_statements.

I would like to add another restriction: A future_statement must appear on a line by itself. It is not legal to combine a future_statement without any other statement using a semicolon. It would be a bear to implement error handling for cases like this: from __future__ import a; import b; from __future__ import c Jeremy
