Sorry. Looking back they look pretty much the same to me. Somehow I glanced over Phillip's code and thought he was proposing to use a regular JUMP_IF opcode with the special __debug__ variable (which would be a 3rd possibility, good if we had backwards compatibility requirements for bytecode -- which we don't, fortunately :-). -- --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/) _______________________________________________ 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
