See the "bunch" discussion on the python-dev mailing list from over a year ago. There may have even been a PEP. I believe the general consensus was "it would be convenient sometimes, but it is *trivial* to implement it as necessary". Also, not every X-line function or class should be included with Python. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=355470&aid=1637926&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
