It would be a good idea to define a convention for these special comments. For example, we could define something similar to C's pragma: #pragma <feature> <option> ... or perhaps, #: <feature> <option> ... So, your example would become: for x in curiousobject.iteritems(): #pragma 2to3 keep foo(x) I expect other tools, like pdb.py and trace.py could follow this convention as well. For example: def buggy_func(): #pragma pdb break pass if debug: #pragma trace ignore pass The motivation for making a such convention, is to make it easy for programmers to identify comments that are in fact control lines. -- Alexandre _______________________________________________ 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
