I was fooling around with Python 3.1 today, and I found this little nugget:
>>> import __future__ >>> dir(__future__) ['CO_FUTURE_ABSOLUTE_IMPORT', 'CO_FUTURE_BARRY_AS_BDFL', 'CO_FUTURE_DIVISION', 'CO_FUTURE_PRINT_FUNCTION', 'CO_FUTURE_UNICODE_LITERALS', 'CO_FUTURE_WITH_STATEMENT', 'CO_GENERATOR_ALLOWED', 'CO_NESTED', '_Feature', '__all__', '__builtins__', '__doc__', '__file__', '__name__', '__package__', 'absolute_import', 'all_feature_names', 'barry_as_FLUFL', 'division', 'generators', 'nested_scopes', 'print_function', 'unicode_literals', 'with_statement'] hmm... BARRY_AS_BDFL and barry_as_FLUFL >>> from __future__ import barry_as_FLUFL >>> nothing noticable happened. I googled the latter, and found that it's an April Fools (of 2009!) checkin that was never reverted. http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-checkins/2009-April/080796.html _______________________________________________ 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
