The transition strategy for 3.0 explicitly excludes this possibility. For example, you couldn't catch exceptions with an error variable, because the except clause syntax changed. You couldn't use print except to print a single string. You couldn't use unicode string literals; you couldn't distinguish between text and binary data in a meaningful way. -- --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/) _______________________________________________ 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
