[long posting] Oh h... what have I done ... *g* Slow down, please. For now there are no concrete plans what-so-ever to implement the feature in the near future. Some developers have expressed their interest in a way to alter the resulting type of a literal. It was my attention to show you, that we have discussed the idea, too. Now for the "with type as from import" syntax. I came up with the syntax idea about an hour ago. I tried to come up with some nice syntax that reuses existing keywords. IMHO it has a nice ring. Other possibilities I came up with: def float as factory def float as from module import factory with float yield factory with float yield from module import factory After some careful thinking I'm in favor of "with ... yield ...". It's less ambiguous and can't be mistaken for "with open(filename) as fh". The ideas needs a good PEP. You are definitely up to something. You also came up with a list of possible issues and corner cases. Are you interested in pursuing the proposal? *wink* Christian _______________________________________________ Numpy-discussion mailing list [email protected] http://projects.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
