Indices aren't necessarily numeric (think of an A-Z file), and I don't believe you are correct about the connotations of indexable being numeric or sequence-like. Think of index cards. With my maths background, I would expect that subscripts are (almost) always numeric, e.g. x-subscript-i means the i-th x value, where i is a natural number. +0 on keeping unsubscriptable. +1 on changing it to unidexable. -1 on keeping the current misspelling. -- Steven D'Aprano _______________________________________________ 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
