Have you checked if these are intended to bring the "getattr" name into local scope for fast lookup, or to force a binding to the builtin "gettattr" at compile time (two common (ab)uses of default arguments)? If they are, they would be better served by the new syntax. Overall, +1 on obj.(attr_name) -0 on obj.(attr_name, default_value) Tim Delaney _______________________________________________ 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
