That's too bad :( I still find a rebinding operator (":=" being my favorite) much, *much* more appealing than any of the alternative proposals. It's beautifully symmetrical with "assignment means local". It also pretty much makes the global statement redundant. The only downside I see is that it may cause a fairly big shift in style: I for one would use := for rebinding local names. While I think that would be an improvement (eg. by catching typo's earlier), it's *different*. Just -- Change is bad. We fear change. -- Garth Algar _______________________________________________ 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
