The dodges you have to use work fine in python2 as well, though, so I think Barry's point stands, even if it does make the python2 code a bit uglier...but not as bad as the 2.5 exception hacks. Still, I'll grant that it would be a harder sell to upstream than the changes Barry mentioned. On the other hand, it's not like the code will get *prettier* once you drop Python2 support :(. --David _______________________________________________ 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
