I know, but if we ever start making exceptions, this would be a particularly harmless one. There must be a reason why we don't use -std=c89 flag with the standard config. I don't think too many people remember that c89 allows trailing commas in array and struct initialization lists, but not in enum declarations. Without compiler help, enforcing this is an unnecessary maintenance burden. _______________________________________________ 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
