But, if something is done by convention, then departing from the convention is by definition unconventional. If you do something unconventional in a program, it could be on purpose for a reason, or it could be by accident indicating a bug. I don't understand why some folks spew such violent rhetoric against the idea of augmenting Python with features to alert you automatically when you depart from the convention, so that you can check that the departure is actually what you wanted. A lot of the time, I find, the departures are accidental and automated checks would save me considerable debugging. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
