Actually I think enumerations would be more useful than symbols. There's no essential difference between a symbol and an interned string. The only real disadvantage to using strings as symbols is that you don't get an immediate NameError if you misspell one. A symbol type wouldn't solve that problem; enumerations would. -- Greg _______________________________________________ Python-3000 mailing list Python-3000@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-3000 Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-3000/archive%40mail-archive.com
