Nick Coghlan's explanation of what justifies a syntax change (most of message http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2008-October/082831.html ) should probably be added to the standard docs/FAQs somewhere.
At the moment, I'm not sure exactly where, though. At the moment, the Developer FAQ (http://www.python.org/dev/faq/) is mostly about using specific tools (rather than design philosophy), and Nick's explanation may be too detailed for the current Explanations section of www.python.org/dev/ Possibly as a Meta-PEP? -jJ _______________________________________________ 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
