If you're *that* careful, the additional effort to hack around this is negligible. The problem is that most people are *never* that careful, and *all* people are rarely that careful. I understand your use case, but I don't see a case for exposing this to the general public. _______________________________________________ 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
