Yes, it is very confusing. Steven used that purported argument against me, and then since I disagreed with it, it apparently meant that I was arguing that changing the file extension type (which I've never even proposed or discussed, btw) from json to rson somehow magically makes a preexisting file all better. I have a headache now, and it will only get worse, so that's really all I have left to say about this issue. Best regards, Pat -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
