Ideally I very much prefer that print become a function. However, the major backlash has swayed me some, if for no other reason that people are so strongly against changing it. What if a tool existed that did the conversion? I realize that the tool is unlikely to be perfect, but what if it could do 99.9% of the job? I'm not thinking about just fixing print, but also converting iterkeys/itervalues/iteritems, xrange -> range, raw_input -> input, warning about use of input(), etc. I'm sure this tool wouldn't be perfect, but if it did most of the work, would that change opinions? n _______________________________________________ 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
