Not when you're teaching the language to undergraduates: I haven't
actually done the study yet (though I may this summer), but I'm willing to
bet that allowing "math" notation for sets will more than double their

Hi,
I have a student who may be interested in adding syntactic support for
sets to Python, so that:
x = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
and:
y = {z for z in x if (z % 2)}
would be legal. There are of course issues (what's the syntax for a
frozen set? for the empty set?), but before he even starts, I'

people who fit this bill (particularly people who might be interested in
following along with a trial run of the course this fall), I'd be grateful
for pointers.
Thank
Hi folks. Is anyone interested in doing an article on Python decorators
for "Doctor Dobb's Journal"? If so, please drop me a line...
Thanks,
