The benefits of changes are usually clear, but I don't think the costs of changes are fully assessed. python-dev considers the cost of changes to CPython's implementation, but I don't think the cost changes to Jython, IronPython, or PyPy are taken into account here. PyPy probably has enough representatives here who would squawk if something was difficult, but I don't think Jython or IronPython do. I think if we assessed those costs fully, the bar for changes to the language would be a good deal higher. --amk _______________________________________________ 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
