I think the whole discussion about the concept and meaning of zero-dimensional arrays is mostly irrelevant to the original issue. The original issue is a *syntax* question: should x[()] be written as x[]? And from a syntax perspective, it's a bad idea. x[] is much more often a typo than an intentional attempt to index a zero-dimensional array. The compiler should continue to treat it as a syntax error. -- ?!ng _______________________________________________ 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
