Says the person who doesn't want to attach an identity to his messages. (Yes, that's ad hominem if used to dismiss your argument; but it's *you* that is raising “know how to use the internet”, so at that point you become fair game, IMO.) > Is that all there is?

Someone who knows how to use the internet surely can tell that comp.lang.python isn't the place to come expecting *changes* in the Python tutorial. You started out asking how to *interpret* it, which is fine for this forum; but discussing it here isn't going to lead automatically to any *midification* to a document developed within the core of Python. -- \ “Whatever you do will be insignificant, but it is very | `\ important that you do it.” —Mahatma Gandhi | _o__) | Ben Finney -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
