This was at the request of a user who wanted to exchange (Decimal, ROUNDING) pickles between the versions. I think the strings are working fine and personally I have no plans to change the type again. The episode shows that pickling backwards compatibility is one thing to consider, but I'm probably stating the obvious here. :) Stefan Krah _______________________________________________ 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
