I think it's like putting a lock on your door. It won't stop anyone who's determined to get in, but it makes it hard for them to argue in court that they wandered in accidentally. Also it may make it easier to get the idea of using Python past PHBs. That seems to me like a good reason for keeping the feature. -- 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
