If you look, for example, at chinese names, the name space is not that much important: "Xee Laa" only takes this space: " " ^^^^^^^ Instead, if you take a typical english name, say, "Abraham Lincoln", you instantly recognize the waste of space used by this name: " " ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Concluding: I think that americans are very good at wasting name spaces, whereas chinese ones seem less name space hungry. Sure, you could make some other example, proving for the contrary, but I think the one cited above already suffices. Peace. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
