I think the difference is that when you see eval() you know something dangerous is going on, but most uses of format() would be harmless -- *except* when given no arguments. It would be an easy thing to overlook when reading code. If this functionality is to be provided, I think it should at least have a different method name to make it stand out more clearly. -- Greg _______________________________________________ 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
