Way to miss the point. Sure there will be people for which this particular example doesn't work. The point is, that often enough progress in python is not about introducing something new that is "actually needed" but about making functionality that is already available more easily accessible. I am sure you can find your own examples if you search for them. -- Antoon. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
