I'm also against the removal of jokes! Removing the antigravity module would break the backward compatibility! from __futures__ import braces! Ten years ago, we asked me to add the "IPv6" feature in a firewall. I started to implement the RFC 1924 to have a full support. In the C language, handling the base 85 is not simple because you need arithmetic operations on large integers (128 bits). https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1924 3 days later, when my code was working, I saw the date of the RFC... I was young and naive :-) Victor _______________________________________________ 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
