You're completely missing the context of the discussion, which was the supposed reason that a *new* function call operator, with the proposed syntax function?(args), that would short-circuit (based on the 'function' being None) could not be implemented. The whole thing doesn't make sense to me anyway, since a new operator could have its own sequence different from the existing one if necessary. _______________________________________________ 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
