There seems to be a current of thinking around generic functions and pythonic-magic that just confuses me. Everyone sounds off about how generic functions make things incredibly powerful and flexible, yet none of the adherents seem to recognise that it make the code absolutely impenetrable. I recently spent a half hour trying to understand the NEW expose operator before simply giving up. I'm loathe to speak ill of my fellow contributors (and I have no idea who's been working on this), but it simply wasn't important enough for me to understand it.                                                      I'd ALWAYS rather type a little more and understand what's going on than type less and hope the magic happens.                    Naturally, this has nothing to do with Identity, but it's been bothering me. -- Jeff Watkins http://newburyportion.com/ "Advertising directed at children is inherently deceptive and exploits children under eight years of age." -- American Academy of Pediatrics --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TurboGears" group.
