"It's a free country, you can do what you like." "No I can't, I'm not allowed to kill people." "Um, okay." Just because there are exceptions to a rule doesn't mean it isn't a general rule. A few exceptions are just exceptions, they don't invalidate the fact that "consenting adults" is a basic design principle of Python. -- Steven -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
