I haven't seen much of a consensus for the string-literals instead of constants approach, especially not from experienced extension writers. personally, I think it's butt-ugly, a lot more error-prone than any alternative, and I also doubt that it'll save much space in practice. it also ignores history; the Xt developers tried the same thing, and ended up adding #define's for all their string literals to get a least a little help from the compiler... </F> _______________________________________________ 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
