No code should be using that now.
That's what I mean. Like changing iter.next() to iter.__next__() in Py3, it'd be using a name that emphasizes that the interpreter, not userland code, should be calling this function. Of course, it'd still be optional. Top-level code would be executed top-down, same as it now is. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
