Hypertalk (the programming language of Apple's Hypercard) had an interesting way of doing this. There were two string concatenation operators: a regular one, and a "concatenate with a space between" operator. Using these, you could build up strings for output quite nicely. It helped somewhat that Hypertalk really only had strings as a data type. A Python version of this operator would need to be willing to convert either or both operands to strings. -- 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
