I don't think that's a very compelling example. I have serious issues with having global or per-thread state that can change the outcome of repr(); it would make it impossible to write correct code involving repr() because you can never know what it will do the next time. -- --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
