I'm certainly not suggesting that anyway else needs to agree with
that particular idiosyncrasy of mine - there are plenty of reasons
to prefer to do things the other way around. And when I'm changing
existing code, I try to stick to whatever convention that code
already uses.
Agreed, and sorry, I didn't mean to imply you (or anybody else) was
wrong in your preferences!
I still have this idea of playing "Stump The Guido" some day at Pycon,
where we get a dozen or so Python hackers to write some similar code
in their own idiosyncratic styles and we see if Guido can match the
code with the hacker. At least one of /my/ major tells will have been
eradicated by then. :)
