I'm sorry, but you're wrong. Interfacing python to interoperate with the underlying system is compatibility. Surely your own win32 extensions already address this necessity. Regardless, as I said before, nothing justifies silently changing the meaning of a program based on an option that most users don't set for themselves and are not aware of. When such a change would take place, it should be reported explicitly as an error. _______________________________________________ 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
