I don't use a functional approach very often, but I haven't ever had a case where I would want or need to use any of the functions you provide. Does anyone else think that any or all of these would be useful? > A better place to put some of these functions might be __builtin__, so you > don't have to waste time importing something as basic as cat. We do not arbitrarily add functions to builtins. The general approach that most people have is to *reduce* the number of builtins, not increase them. Generally, -.5 on the functions/objects you provide (I haven't used them, but I'm reserving a -1 or -0 for if people have other opinions). -1000 on adding them to the builtins. - Josiah _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
