Thinking about that and recent Python development:
This is highly exaggerated.
Guido, I'm not sure that you are always aware what people actually like about Python and what they dislike. I have heared such complaints from so many people, that I think there are reasonably many who don't share your judgement. Personally, I belong to the more conservatives, too. (Stunned? No, really, I like the minimum, most orthogonal set of features, since I'm running low on brain cells). Don't take me as negative. This has to be said, once: I like the new generators very much. They have a lot of elegance and power. I am absolutely amazed by the solution to the type/class dichotomy, and I'm completely excited about the metaclass stuff. Great! Much more valuable memorizing than list comprehensions, booleans and hopefully no new formatting syntax. All in all Python is evolving good. Maybe we could slow a little down, please? -- Christian Tismer :^) mailto:tismer@tismer.com Mission Impossible 5oftware : Have a break!
