> --Ned. Hi Ned As you know on the whole I am thankful to you that you keep some order on this list. I however find it strange and one-sided that you pull up Marko and not Steven given 1. Steven's response is almost entirely vituperative and that is in response to 2. Being pointed out that a finite-input table-lookup being called a hash-function is a rather nonsensical claim and goes counter to the basic tenets of asymptotic notation. (In CS unlike in math 'asymptote' is always infinity) IOW 3. If I start off with "I am going to out-pedant you..." and then goof up my attempted pedantry whose fault is it? -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
