+1. Presumably you can still write to the standard input, output, error, and log files without importing io. (I'm feeling slightly pedantic today, so I want to say that the proposal doesn't make it any easier to identify modules that engage in I/O -- it makes it easier to identify modules that assuredly do not engage in I/O. +1 anyway.) _______________________________________________ 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
