Of course familiarity to existing users is a consideration, but in cases where self-consistency can be improved, I don't think we should be overly concerned about legacy scripts. I would estimate that 90% of future users will never have used either Sun or Apple probes, 9% will have used Apple and 1% Sun. (This is completely unscientific guess, of course.) ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4111> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
