So, I was unclear. I was picturing PyListObject still being built-in to the interpreter and exposed via Python.h (in C). That way, extension modules could still use it. Within the Python language, it could be made available via collections.list. Or it could continue to be __buitins__.list. By "replacing list", I'm mostly concerned about the return type of things like "[1,2,3,4]" and list comprehensions. -- Daniel Stutzbach, Ph.D. President, Stutzbach Enterprises LLC _______________________________________________ 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
