Well then we can at least agree on that. > Given that enumerate() eliminate many uses of range(), it might be worth > considering requiring the start param. range(0,n) only takes two more > keystrokes. Better maybe to shorten range to rng to get them back ;-) I can't use enumerate that much. I usually work with a Table which is like a list, but the index can start at any integer value. Enumerate doesn't work well with a table. -- Antoon Pardon -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
