I want to say that I agree with everything in PEP 3100 except for two things:
1) Getting rid of 'callable'. The reccomended replacement is "just call the object and catch the resulting exception", but I can think of a lot of situations where that wouldn't be appropriate. For example, what if you want to know if something is callable, but you don't want to call it just yet? What if you intend on calling something 1000 times, and you'd like to know if its callable once, instead of catching the exception 1000 times? 2) I think that 'print' should stay a statement; If you want to add a functional equivalent, that's fine, but the simplicity of the current statement is a win. (Plus I like not having to type the parens; the less delimiters, the more readable the code IMHO.) -- Talin _______________________________________________ Python-3000 mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-3000 Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-3000/archive%40mail-archive.com
