I think we should just try to do things in a simple and general way and not try to enforce readability. For example, the slightly-overcomplex code that I proposed might have been generated by a macro, or even by a compiler from some other language. No human would ever have to look at it, so it doesn't matter whether it's easily readable. There's no reason to add needless constraints on the language just to make writing ugly code difficult. The main goal should be to make writing clear code easy, not to worry about whether someone might also write ugly code. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
