Far be it from me to act the grinch (and I honestly don't care), but I'm curious what caused you to change your mind at this point. You have argued against this for years: http://www.python.org/search/hypermail/python-1992/0285.html More recently, your argument has revolved around the fact that you don't want tuples used as a "poor man's list" -- they are intended to be used for heterogeneous data. (Assuming I'm rephrasing you correctly.) (My purpose in poking you is to get better at channeling you rather than because this particular decision has much significance.) -- Aahz ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <*> http://www.pythoncraft.com/ "All problems in computer science can be solved by another level of indirection." --Butler Lampson _______________________________________________ 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
