He wanted to introduce a moratorium at least partially because he was tired of endless threads about anonymous code blocks, etc. Which aren't going to be included in the language anyway, so he may as well make a point to say "and neither will anything else for a while".
If anonymous code blocks still get discussed even when they have no chance of being accepted, this suggests that a moratorium is *not* going to stop discussion of new features. I'm a bit confused about Guido's reasons for wanting a moratorium. He started out by saying that the intention wasn't to stop people discussing ideas, then later he seemed to say that he was finding all these discussions were distracting, then he explicitly said he wanted to "crush" people's hopes of getting new features into the language. That all sounds like he actually *does* want to discourage such discussions. -- Greg _______________________________________________ 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
