Given that annotations do not require them, another option is to wait (at least) an extra release, while annotations sink in. Since they can be done as 3rd-party libraries, I assumed the decision was to postpone at least until there was a concrete implementation candidate available. (And no, I don't know exactly what "candidate available" would require.) > Should these have PEPs? (Even if solely for purposes of rejection?) If Guido says "definately too late", it would be worth putting that in one of the summary PEPs. I don't think it is worth a separate PEP just to say "maybe later". > -- Metaclass syntax Please do provide a summary or PEP of this. My memory boils down to: (1) Guido agreed that it was reasonable to want to use your own mapping type when creating a class. (2) There were a bunch of other questions involving both additional freedoms and which syntax to use, that never really got decided. So (1) didn't happen yet either. -jJ _______________________________________________ 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
