I actually have no problem with that, so long as you use a custom type. It may not technically be immutable but it does provide its own clearly defined semantics for simultaneous modification, and that's enough. Anyway, the idea as I presented it is dead at this point, so I'll leave it at that. -- Adam Olsen, aka Rhamphoryncus _______________________________________________ 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
