Thanks to all who contributed to the discussion -- despite this being a pretty simple function, I learned a lot and far more fully appreciate the nuance of all of this. I'll edit the text as you suggest, and then work on a patch -- I'm sure I'll have questions for Python-dev when I actually do that, but I'll get started on my own and see how far I get. -Chris On Fri, Feb 27, 2015 at 11:38 AM, Guido van Rossum <gu...@python.org> wrote: > I think it's time to accept PEP 485.
