[Python-Dev] PEP-317

[Raymond Hettinger]

I'm +0 on finally deprecating the string exceptions.
But am -1000 on eliminating implicit instantiation before Py3.0.

Right after writing:

 "In short, implicit instantiation has no advantages other than backwards
  compatibility ..."

I think it would only be fair to add:

  "If this proposal is adopted, nearly every piece of non-trivial python
   code that has ever been written would need to be revised or would
   fail to run.  Likewise, most tutorial and book examples would also
   fail."
