What informal movement has there been, and where? > maybe even "informal" movement was too strong. It's a trend I've observed. At least on this list and others I follow -- maybe not in the broader community. One example was a proposal a while back on this list for a "groupby" in itertools (it kind of withered on the vine, like many good ideas here), I suggested that it be made comprehension friendly, and some others including the OP) didn't see the point. Maybe that's not representative, but it's a trend I've noticed. -CHB -- Christopher Barker, PhD (Chris) Python Language Consulting - Teaching - Scientific Software Development - Desktop GUI and Web Development - wxPython, numpy, scipy, Cython
