In the world we live in today, a "closed area project" is something that tends to disappear. One never knows if the code can be made public someday, or be outsourced to a country with a different language and default encoding. (Now that I think of it, this *is* a valid reason to accept this PEP: "Sorry, boss, but we can't possibly fire all our development team and outsource the project to Russia: all the identifiers are in French and they won't be able to make any sense of it" ;-) ) -- python -c "print ''.join([chr(154 - ord(c)) for c in 'U(17zX(%,5.zmz5(17l8(%,5.Z*(93-965$l7+-'])" -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
