*** INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: This changes append(), remove(), index(), and *** count() to require exactly one argument -- previously, multiple *** arguments were silently assumed to be a tuple.
Not sure about remove(), index() and count(), but the change to .append() will break *lots* of code !
Agreed. But 1.6 is as good a point to break it as any -- what's the point in putting this off? This isn't big enough to wait for 2.0. I could've done it in the 1.5.x series, but decided not to. --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)
