I like the idea, but I wanted to note that since it has no meaning from the point of view of the defined function, it can be done with a magic decorator, so new syntax is not required:
@positional_only[:4] def replace(self, old, new, count=-1): ...
I"m confused, what does the [:4] mean? if you want old and new to be positional only, wouldn't it be something like: @positional_only(3) def replace(self, old, new, count=-1): ... i.e. the first three parameters are positional only. and why indexing/slice syntax??? +! on the idea -- still on the fence about syntax. -CHB -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer Emergency Response Division NOAA/NOS/OR&R (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception Chris.Barker@noaa.gov
