Even though you can use them as variables (and shadow the builtins), you will still get warnings from "pychecker". The code will also be harder to read: When you see "all" in the middle of some code, you don't know if it's referring to the builtin or a variable. Personally, I think Python has too many builtins already. /Peter Åstrand <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
