No, but it's not easy, and it's not necessarily succinct. For an existence proof, see Guy Steele's "Common Lisp the Language". I don't think it's a coincidence that Steele worked on the readable "The Java Language Specification" either, or on the original Scheme spec. Google should hire him to work on Python docs now ;-) _______________________________________________ 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
