I assume you realize that "../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../etc/passwd" is a valid strftime() format specifier? :-) But, to answer your question, no, I have nothing against small languages, per-se (and I've done plenty of regex work). But, if my goal is to print a time in some human-readable form: >>> print t is a lot easier than anything involving strftime(). -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
