+1 The new syntax so much better that we should do this even if 3.0 did not exist. There are some modules like Decimal that make a promise to run on earlier versions of Python. In those cases only the first change (backwards compatible) should be made. Our 5,000 line Decimal package will need to wait for 3.0 to use the except/as form :-( Raymond _______________________________________________ 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
