Or MySQLdb, which specifically recommends keyword arguments for the constructor. Mainly because the underlying library is controlled by a third party, so it's unpredictable when and where new arguments will be added. (Not that I'm in favor of keyword-only arguments, for the reasons Terry Reedy has mentioned.) -- Mike Orr <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ([EMAIL PROTECTED] address is semi-reliable) _______________________________________________ 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
