That's not the assertion. I'm asking Bart to acknowledge that, because of the ignorance he admits to above, he should not be making elsewhere the sky-is-falling assertions about Python's failings. > I'll ask everyone to please give Bart the benefit of the doubt and > assume good faith. Bart is continuing to demonstrate *bad* faith by showing un-idiomatic Python code in support of his claims about how bad Python is, while simultaneously being confessedly ignorant about idiomatic Python. Bart can show good faith by *learning* idiomatic Python, with the humility of a beginner. And also by refraining from rhetoric about how bad Python's performance is, until he gains experience to make those claims. -- \ “Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our | `\ inclinations, or the dictates of our passion, they cannot alter | _o__) the state of facts and evidence.” —John Adams, 1770-12-04 | Ben Finney -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
