I'm not sure I like the idea of having things that are illegal outside a function, because it can be a nuisance for code refactoring. I'd be happy if case worked at the top level, but wasn't any faster than if-elses. That wouldn't be so bad -- top-level code is already slower due to global variable accesses. Also I don't care what happens if you change the case values of a top-level case. It's undefined behaviour anyway. -- Greg _______________________________________________ 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
