Aaaaaaaaaaaargh! ;-) Here we go again: fixing the tokenizer is great and all, but then what about all tools that read source files line by line? Eg. linecache.py, all IDE's, etc. etc. As Tim wrote a while back:
importing-is-only-the-start-of-the-battle
So no, we don't "only need a solution for the Python tokenizer"...
See... that's why we need a PEP on these things ;-) Seriously, I thought that you were only talking about being able to work on Python code from different platforms in a network (e.g. code is shared by a Windows box and development takes place on a Mac). Now it seems that you want to go for the full Monty :-) -- Marc-Andre Lemburg ______________________________________________________________________ Company & Consulting: http://www.egenix.com/ Python Pages: http://www.lemburg.com/python/
