Sure - I've had plenty to do with functools in the past, and will no doubt have plenty to do with it in the future. Given that I believe Guido was one of the folks whose brain was hurt by PJE's attempts to explain PEP 3124, I'll be bringing the discussion back here before committing anything though :) (and don't worry too much about 3 - it will give me an opportunity to road test the functools patch by using it to refactor pprint and check the performance implications) Cheers, Nick. -- Nick Coghlan | ncogh...@gmail.com | Brisbane, Australia --------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ 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
