What happens in 2.6 and 3.0? -- Aahz (a...@pythoncraft.com) <*> http://www.pythoncraft.com/ "Given that C++ has pointers and typecasts, it's really hard to have a serious conversation about type safety with a C++ programmer and keep a straight face. It's kind of like having a guy who juggles chainsaws wearing body armor arguing with a guy who juggles rubber chickens wearing a T-shirt about who's in more danger." --Roy Smith, c.l.py, 2004.05.23 -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
