You may be right. I can see the rationale for this change (although many aspects feel funny, such as doing integral arithmetic with floats, i.e. 3.0//2.0). Perhaps it'll be like when I quit smoking six years ago. I didn't enjoy it although I knew it was good for me... And now I don't regret it even though I still have the occasional craving. -- Arnaud -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
