I disagree with that explanation -- I couldn't know that when I made len() a function, because map() wasn't to become part of the language for another 5-6 years. My explanation is (a) I translated ABC's #x notation, and (b) I like the way it looks better. Your explanation is at best a handy side effect. :-) -- --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
