intuitively, I'm -1 on this proposal. unlike the original design, all you get from this is the ability to add try/finally blocks to your code without ever writing a try/finally-clause (neither in your code or in the block controller). that doesn't strike me as especially pythonic. (neither does the argument that just because you can use a mechanism to write inscrutable code, such a mechanism must not be made available feel right; Python's design has always been about careful tradeoffs between policy and mechanism, but this is too much policy for my taste. the original PEP 340 might have been too clever, but this reduced version feels pretty pointless). </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
