Consensus is a big word, but I'd be happy to see a PEP that explains the currently best proposals and clarifies any gray areas that the informal proposals might have. -- --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
