I don't like it period. What consistency problem is there? This is Python 3 we are talking about, so if something makes good sense such as not having parentheses, I say leave them off. There are multiple places where parens could be required but are not, like multiple assignment. -Brett _______________________________________________ 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
