There are many different types of callables. This stuff would only work if they all implemented the same API. That's unlikely to happen. A module with functions to implement the various functional operations has much more potential. -- --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/) _______________________________________________ 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
