I don't know if we do and I'll support such measures (pending that they're done intelligently) but unfortunately there seem to be at least two problems with your plan. - There seems to be no authority for upholding such rules - Newbies never read around That said, the idea itself is well grounded. I'd suggest stealing the rules Python already has somewhere. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
