With Guido not liking it and people not agreeing on a solution with me not feeling like fighting for this one I consider the PEP rejected. When I get my laptop back (end of the week hopefully) I will check the PEP in as rejected so that we don't have to go through this again. Thanks to everyone to contributed to the conversation. -Brett _______________________________________________ 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
