Guido, it isn't fair of you to jump into this thread and start scolding us for being sarcastic. Jelle's accusation that we "mostly" replied to Jerimiah with sarcasm was inaccurate. The regulars here (especially Chris) spent a lot of time and effort trying to get Jerimiah to understand the need to justify the association between ord(), or some other arbitrary function, with the unary plus operator (or any other arbitrary operator). It is not nice to dismiss that effort as sarcastically shooting the idea down. -- Steve _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list -- python-ideas@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-ideas-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-ideas.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/message/QAT3HVWQEUJWMY33MQ47X2AIR5XVK6DY/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
