Do you have any concrete evidence ? FWIW, I've seen a *lot* of Python code, and very very few uses of _implementation stuff - most of them being legitimate. > I think this > is the point.

The fact is that there's no cure for stupidity. If you want a language explicitly designed to "protect" dummies from themselves, you know where to find it. Why should normally intelligent peoples have to suffer from this ? Are you going to forbid hammers because dummies could smash their fingers then complain ? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
