It didn't. I feel just as confused as before. What does "iat" mean? Is "update" an arbitrary symbol (if so then you could have used "foo" instead of "update" to make it a lot clearer). And you didn't show before, after and equivalent functionality in current python. / Anders _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list Python-ideas@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-ideas Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
