If I may be just a bit catty, your last sentence may actually be the best reason NOT to include it in Python 3.0. Perl 6 has become a worthy successor to ALGOL 68 and PL/I. They are attempting to pack in every feature that has ever been requested by every person in the known universe. -- Tim Roberts, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
