Unfortunately, the people who find it useful are a minority. Most people don't care for it, and the Python dev team decided that the code they most wanted to unclutter was their own CPython implementation. Personally, I'm with you on this one: it's a small step backwards. But only a *small* step. Whether it is outweighed by the steps forward, well, time will tell. -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
