Python has other dilemmas, too. I suggest we adopt the same solution. For instance, every statement should begin with a marker, so that we know it isn't a comment; every variable name should be adorned, so that we know it's not a keyword like 'if'; and every decimal integer should begin with "0d" so that we know it isn't hex. Plus, we should get rid of binary operators with their messy precedence tables; everything should become function calls. <STMT> $assign($x,$add(0d5,0d7)) </STMT> # assigns 12 (decimal) to x This would make Python far less ambiguous. We should proceed with this right away. ChrisA -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
