Hello, I posted it as a "pre-PEP", in the hope that it may become a PEP and be accepted. As it happened, Guido said "no" at the end, so I stopped pushing the subject. I think that the main reason for the "no" was that my use case wasn't convincing enough - the objections were that this wasn't useful enough, not that it does anything harmful*. As the one who does think it's useful, I have the tiniest hope that if, in the future, people will become familiar with the package and see the usefulness of allowing empty subscript list, the decision will change. If the only result of me posting it as a PEP is a final "rejected" status that will prevent any chance of that happening, I don't think I'll bother to make it a PEP. If it's not the case, then I'll make it a PEP and post it. Have a good week, Noam * Yes, I know that adding unneeded feature to the language can be considered "harmful". You may not agree with my distinction in this case. As it is, I barely consider this as an "added feature" - I would say it's mostly "a small generalization". 2006/6/30, Georg Brandl <g.brandl@gmx.net>:

Noam Raphael posted an empty subscript PEP on the Python Wiki:

http://wiki.python.org/moin/EmptySubscriptListPEP

It's not linked to by any other pages on the wiki. Is there a reason it wasn't added to the peps repository?

Perhaps the author forgot to submit it to the PEP editor, or he decided to abandon it after the mostly negative discussion here.
