Scott, Oh, so Python 3.0 is an Equal Opportunity Enigma, now i get it :D Steve, Obviously i was referring to the look, not the actuality of a tuple
Marc, Why move away from a concise and widely accepted way of sting formatting, just to supposedly make it a little easier for n00bs? (which i disagree this is easier) In turn, creating more syntactical clutter. (%s %f %d) is all you need to remember. If people can't understand that, i fear for the future of Humans as a species! [bearophile], """So I think it's right to make Python3 become a little higher level language even if this slows it down a little. For the kind of programs Python is often used for, I think this is a Win. (Ruby programs are often slower than Python ones (because Ruby is a little higher level than Python) but it's very useful anyway). If Python will continue to develop in the following years (think about a Python4000) then I think it may become good to make it become even more slower, if this will help make it a little more higher level still.""" [/bearophile], Yea, if your keeping up with the "Rubies" i guess. Python's strengths are in it's simplicity -and- it's constraints. Turning Python into a language so stupid a monkey could use it(there by slowing it down in the process),is counter intuitive, and will chase away core followers. Let Ruby try to include every way possible known to man to do one simple process, just to please the most people. Are we Python coders or "Corrupt Politicians" looking to grab every vote by trying to please the masses thereby sacrificing our souls in the process --> Ruby. *It may be time to start hacking my own personal version of the Python interpreter. hmm...
