That was the original context of my comment. The term "symmetry" gets used a couple times in that PEP, and I think we're in violent agreement that the concept of "symmetry" is wishy-washy at best.Here is just one example from the PEP: The symmetry between "if x in y" and "for x in y" suggests that it should iterate over keys.
Maybe "analogy" or "similarity" would be a better word here. -- Greg -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
