You're right, strip() wasn't a good example, and I withdraw it. However, there's a big difference between being a whitespace character and being a line break character. Programs that currently deal with FF and VT chars would have their behaviour changed, because they would suddenly start seeing lines broken in unexpected (to them) places, and getting lines that don't end with \n which aren't at the end of the file. -- Greg _______________________________________________ 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
