I think that would give me *most* of what I would need for my solver. What remains is a consise way to specify bound vs. unbound variables I would prefer not to have to restrict people to using a limited set of pre-declared undefined variables, i.e. X, Y, Z, etc.; plus I would want to be able to associate additional constraints with those unbound variables. At the risk of violating Guido's prohibition against 'wild ideas' -- it seems to me that a lot could be done by reserving a special operator - say '?' - that has no built-in semantics. Thus, people who wanted to create alternative notations, expressed in Python code, could use this 'user operator' to attach any language specific metadata to terms of the expression. Just a thought, not to be taken too seriously... -- Talin _______________________________________________ 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
