I read that as use document preferences first, then user defaults, then site defautls, exactly as I'd explain the functionality to someone else. So maybe we're agreeing: if you think in terms of updating a dictionary of preferences, then maybe it reads backwards, but if you think of implementing features, then adding dictionaries of preferences reads backwards. _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list Python-ideas@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-ideas Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
