I read these out of order (so didn't see the giveaway getorsetandget) and spent some time wondering what an "orset" was. I figured it must be some obscure CS/text processing/numeric/literary term that suited this usage. So obscure that google's define couldn't find me a definition. set[with]default is maybe a terrible name, but it does have some things going for it ;) =Tony.Meyer ...perhaps it was the similarity to corset...but surely I'm too young to have "corset" spring to mind before "or set"... _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
