Why have both %s and ? (both positional?) If there is to only be positional, what purpose is served by having two choices for the format ? Also is it accurate that named parameters, support for dictionaries passed to execute(), will be dropped ? This leads things back in the "more difficult to use" direction IMHO. _______________________________________________ DB-SIG maillist - DB-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/db-sig
