This is rather too strong. You can certainly implement them; you just have to implement the argument parsing yourself. Python's call/signature syntax is already extremely expressive, and resolving call arguments to formal parameters is already a complicated (and slow) process. Implementing functions with such strange argument semantics is hardly common enough to justify the whole grouping syntax proposed in this PEP. -1 to that. I think I can live with "/", but YANGTNI still. -- Regards, Benjamin _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
