Ouch, I didn't even think it could be dropped one way and not the other.

So I'm sorry, that have been very premature. -- Alexey _______________________________________________ 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
