if you have comments on the FAQ entries, post them over there. note that the FAQ entry isn't about len(), though; it's about generic functions in general. (and I completely disagree that Mike's observation is moot: consistency is a fundamental part of Python's design, and mechanisms that helps people keep their code consistent without even noticing is an important part of why things are that way.) </F> _______________________________________________ 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
