The parameter list is already so chock full of special cases (keyword params, *varargs, **kwds, default values, and in Py3k required keyword args and argument annotations) that the fiction that the parameter list is just an assignment target is hard to take seriously. Instead, it has become yet another special case that clutters up implementation, documentation, and users' understanding. This sums up my reasons for removing the features. -- --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
