You're missing the point. Our (often non-technical) users demand this feature. Even our technical audience (see Siggy's parallel post for example) perceives benefits from obfuscation, based on empirical tests. So you can explain why, in theory and in practice, obfuscation doesn't work. But the user base will (stubbornly, if you like) refuse to accept your logic. _______________________________________________ Mailman-Developers mailing list Mailman-Developers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-developers Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-developers%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-developers/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9
