the same argument could be used (and was probably used) against generators: why not just use __getitem__ and instance state? as soon as you write something longer than four lines, using more than one state variable, you'll find that generator-based code is a lot more readable. </F> _______________________________________________ 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
