I had the opposite reaction. I often see someone do something "far too clever", which looks cute and impresses me, but makes me think that one would be wiser to avoid clever tricks and just write straightforward (if dull) code. But when I read JP's code I immediately thought that it WAS the straightforward way to write that code, and that I was just not smart enough to have realized it until he showed me. -- Michael Chermside _______________________________________________ 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
