Two points: (1) There's no reason to get uncomfortable even if they're removed. You'd just replace [] with list(). (2) *IMPORTANT* If this happens *at all*, it won't happen until Python 3.0, which is probably at least 5 years away. And the Python 2.X branch will still be available then, so if you don't like Python 3.0, you don't have to use it. STeVe -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
