Lisp is a bit different, because it's always had only a very few chars that aren't identifier chars, so you're used to seeing identifiers with all sorts of junk in them. But in Python, you tend to see anything that you don't recognise as a letter or digit as "punctuation" and therefore non-identifier. -- Greg Ewing, Computer Science Dept, +--------------------------------------+ University of Canterbury, | Carpe post meridiem! | Christchurch, New Zealand | (I'm not a morning person.) | [EMAIL PROTECTED] +--------------------------------------+ _______________________________________________ Python-3000 mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-3000 Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-3000/archive%40mail-archive.com
