There's a cost to __future__ imports too. The current proposal is a pretty clever hack -- and we've done similar hacks in the past
There's a benefit to having a __future__ import beyond avoiding hackery: by turning on the __future__ you can find out what will break when they become real keywords. But I suppose that could be achieved by having both the hack *and* the __future__ import available. -- Greg _______________________________________________ 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
