This would be a good thing. OTOH, I don't see much of a point in giving the user a feeling of fixed standards when we are constantly talking about ways to break code ;-) (e.g. take the Py3K upgrade path PEP).
Whatever other feelings come into play, a standard would be a good thing, IMHO. Aside, the PERL world is thinking into this direction as well. See this rosler article (also interesting concerning Python:) http://www.perl.com/pub/2000/06/rosler.html Since Python is so much cleaner and smaller (still?), this is a chance to be the winder here. ciao - chris -- Christian Tismer :^) mailto:tismer@tismer.com Mission Impossible 5oftware : Have a break!
