No. I don't really care - I don't use them, nor do I use anything else of the operator module (so I wouldn't miss it if it was removed entirely). I would object to their removal, though, because it would hurt my sense of symmetry. Regards, Martin P.S. If anything was to be removed, I would remove the in-place operations altogether; i.e. a+=b should always be a=a+b. Allowing them to be in-place complicates matters for little added value. _______________________________________________ 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
