Since it's hard to ensure that AST hacking doesn't change the semantics in any way I don't think you can guarantee that. You could perhaps guarantee that for some kind of inlining, but if you support AST-hacking for inlining that you automatically make it available for other code transformations. Anyway, this is rather wild py-in-the-sky -- I'd rather not spend time discussing it until there's a working implementation and a PEP. -- --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/) _______________________________________________ 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
