Thanks for expanding on your initial comment. I think you're right that it needs to be simpler. But, for several reasons, security among them, I'm still -1 on PEP 215.
In fact, I think "too much magic" is my main objection to PEP 215. Having a magic string, which looks like it's a constant, with no operators or function calls associated with it being the implicit source of a while series of function calls and possibly unbounded computations is just hiding too much magic for me to swallow. u"$$main()" ? -- Steve
