I think you're being a tad over-defensive. I asked a genuine question about a quote in somebody's signature. That's a quote which can be found all over the Internet, and the poster using it has (as far as I know) no official capacity to speak for "Python" -- while Aahz is a high-profile, well-respected Pythonista, he's not Guido. Now that I understand what the semantics of cout << "Hello world" are, I don't have any problem with it either. It is a bit weird, "Hello world" >> cout would probably be better, but it's hardly the strangest design in any programming language, and it's probably influenced by input redirection using < in various shells. -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
