Steve, I just recently started to have an opinion about these things. "The squeaky wheel get the grease", just allowing my voice be heard. It might seem that i am trashing Python dev, but that could not be further from the truth. Many great changes have been made in 3.0, i just feel strongly about C style formating. Why could't we improve on what we had instead of making radical changes? Thats all i am asking. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
