This analysis overlooks the fact that 3.0 _was_ a major change, and is likely to grow cut-and-paste solutions to some problems as we switch to Unicode strings from byte strings. You are comparing a .0 version to .5 versions. I expect the polishing that follows as we go up through .1, .2, and so on will lower those redundancy measures. --Scott David Daniels scott.dani...@acm.org -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
