One thing that a lot of people like about Python is the encapsulation. I personally hate that "feature"... everyone says that Python is easy for programmers to read and understand, but if I have to do the following a bunch of times import pprint dump = pprint.PrettyPrinter(indent=4).pformat # ... dump(obj) # nothing useful dump(obj.__dict__) # more useful in order to see what's going on inside an object, that really makes me miss Data::Dumper and the sort of manual introspection Perl allows. That wasn't really what you asked for, I guess, but whatever :) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
