Yes, that's one of my two points, that i think are misfeatures in Python, too. The problem is, that Python don't distinguish between defining/binding a variable and setting a value (for example in contrast to Lisp, where binding and setting are two separate operations (namley let and setq)). The other point is a missing (optional) statement to end blocks (so you optional don't have to mark block via whitespace). IMHO this comes very handy in some cases (like mixing Python and HTML like in PSP). From my experience i also would say beginners have quite some problems with only whitespace marking blocks (but it also has some benefits). So i'm not as sure about this as the above point. BTW: I would also appreciate a nicer syntax for classes (no explicit self, no masses of _). But that's another story... :) -- Stefan. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
