This is incompatible with the recent proposal making str.join automatically str-ify its arguments. i.e.: ''.join(['a', 12, 'b']) -> 'a12b'. I don't feel strongly about either proposal, I just thought I'd point out that they're mutually exclusive. -Edward _______________________________________________ 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
