I do. Nevertheless, it requires conscious effort. It's quite appropriate for you to ask that of me, but ... do you think you're doing Python any good to ask more effort of Guido? (Assuming he needs it, of course -- I'm just conjecturing that the form of your examples may make the whole thing less persuasive for him. But of course he has advantages, being Dutch and all.... :-) > The way English does things is not the only way things are done. I am nearly-native fluent in Japanese[1] -- I know better than most people just how differently things *can* be done. That doesn't help much with the effort gradient in English, though. Footnotes: [1] Even my 15-year-old daughter admits that, so it must be true. _______________________________________________ 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
