Yeah -- the _ex suffix on the name suggests that that's the API we wanted but we'd already released a version with a suboptimal API... :-( There are other uses of 'ex' or 'Ex' on APIs too I believe (maybe in the C API). It may well be a convention I borrowed from Microsoft. Any of these that you find are likely cleanup candidates. -- --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/) _______________________________________________ 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
