+1. I'd be especially interested in lifting the current requirement that line ranges and byte ranges both increase monotonically. Even better if the lines for a particular piece of code don't have to all come from the same file. It'd be nice to be able to do the equivalent of '#line' directives for Python code that's generated by other tools, such as parser generators and the like. _______________________________________________ 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
