That's true. OTOH, the question is how much better it is for users that it's worthwhile bothering them with a syntax change that will require (at one point or another) migrating existing files. TOML doesn't seem that compelling to me in that regard (quite less than YAML, and I'm not a YAML fan). (as an aside, if there's the question of forking an existing parser implementation for better vendorability, forking a YAML parser may be more useful to third-party folks than forking a TOML parser :-)) Regards Antoine. _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
