I never thought of that, but that is a good point. There is also a greater chance people will look for 'set' at the interpreter, find it, and just not come across frozenset. Luckily the docs mention both side-by-side, so reading the docs makes this explanation a little less plausible. -Brett _______________________________________________ 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
