Shrug. I don't see a real large change--the code would just check for an optional arg and process accordingly. I don't know if the issue comes up often enough to be worth making such accomodations for. I do know that we had an extensive newsgroup thread about it, from which this discussion came, but I haven't paid that much attention. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
