Now that's completely not true! Translating Pike into PHP is by definition easy. Look: // Pike code: int x = (1==2) ? 3 : 4; # PHP code: $x = (1==2) ? 3 : 4; # Python code: x = 3 if 1==2 else 4 See? Python is just arbitrarily different! The ?: operator is fundamental to so much of programming, and Python has to go and break it! (*Stop* trolling you?!? But this is getting-trolled-on-the-head lessons... anyway, you started it...) ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
