In the UK and Australia, "brackets" on its own refers to round brackets (parentheses), as they are the most common form. We never use "brackets" on its own to mean [], but only (), and the only time we bother to say "round brackets" is when there is a need to disambiguate them from square ones. -- Steven _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
