Please write the results of this discussion up as a PEP. PEPs don't necessarily have to provide an implementation of what is covered; it sometimes simply suffices to start out with a summary of the discussions that have been going on. Then someone may pick up the threads from there and possibly find a solution which will then get implemented.
Just, I second that. I really think this is a very useful improvement to Python, I'd I'd really like to see it happen. I am probably even more out of my depth than you when it comes to suggesting impimentation, but I'd be glad to help with any parts of a PEP that I can. Guido van Rossum wrote:
<grin> I'll repeat my question of yesterday: is there any reason why we couldn't start with QIO? I did some checking after I sent that out, and QIO claims that it can be configured to recognize different kinds of line endings. QIO is claimed to be 2-3 times faster than Python 1.5.2; don't know how that compares to 2.x.
From a one-minute review it looks like as good a start as any!
Great! I have to say that it really seemed that someone must have produced an open source solution to this problem somewhere, and it turns out there is something Python related already. -Chris -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. ChrisHBarker@home.net --- --- --- http://members.home.net/barkerlohmann ---@@ -----@@ -----@@ ------@@@ ------@@@ ------@@@ Oil Spill Modeling ------ @ ------ @ ------ @ Water Resources Engineering ------- --------- -------- Coastal and Fluvial Hydrodynamics -------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
