Uh...how come _I_ don't see that? In IDLE, I get: Python 2.5 (r25:51908, Sep 19 2006, 09:52:17) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)] on win32 IDLE 1.2 >>> as = 1 SyntaxError: invalid syntax When inside a script, I get: as = 1 print as >>> ====================== RESTART ====================== >>> 1 > > it's an unknown issue only for people who has 1) never used their code > under 2.5, or 2) never looks at the output produced by their programs. > > The PEP-5 process guarantees that "users will have at least a year to > test their programs and migrate them from use of the deprecated > construct to the alternative one," and Python 2.5 was released *two* > years ago. > > So it sure looks like the SimPy folks ignored the established process. > Why they've done that is probably a more interesting issue than the > change itself.
