But if there's too much overlap in functionality between the old and the new tool, you're in danger of losing TOOWTDI. Random thought for the day: Programming tools are different from physical tools. I own quite a few different screwdrivers, several of which would be more or less equally good for any particular screw, and this isn't a problem. But I don't have a big crowd of people looking over my shoulder while I work, all trying to figure out why I chose one particular screwdriver over another, and decide which would be the best screwdriver to use on their screws. -- Greg Ewing, Computer Science Dept, +--------------------------------------+ University of Canterbury, | A citizen of NewZealandCorp, a | Christchurch, New Zealand | wholly-owned subsidiary of USA Inc. | [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
