Not so keen. This seems to be a completely different use of str(). If we want that API it should be called something else.

The svn access controls make this impossible AFAIK (but I know very little about them). I suggest you use one of the more distributed alternatives, e.g. Mercurial (I keep hearing good things about it). -- --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/) _______________________________________________ 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
