These are the loose ends on the PEP (apart from filling in some missing sections):
1. Decide on a keyword to use, if any. 2. Decide on the else clause. 3. Decide on Phillip Eby's proposal to have a different API for blocks, so you would have to use a @decorator to turn a generator into something usable in a block. Here are my strawman decisions, to the extent that I'm clear on them: 1. I still can't decide on keyword vs. no keyword, but if we're going to have a keyword, I haven't seen a better proposal than block. So it's either block or nothing. I'll sleep on this. Feel free to start an all-out flame war on this in c.l.py. ;-) 2. No else clause; the use case is really weak and there are too many possible semantics. It's not clear whether to generalize from for/else, or if/else, or what else. 3. I'm leaning against Phillip's proposal; IMO it adds more complexity for very little benefit. Unless there's more discussion on any of these, I'll probably finish up the PEP and post it to c.l.py in a few days. -- --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/) _______________________________________________ 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
