That's not a question relevant here; nobody inthe discussion has a position fairly characterised as “hate pagers so much”. So you're arguing against a straw man. Rather, the position being argued is that they *do* like pagers; they like pagers enough that they want the existing ‘PAGER’ environment variable setting to remain untouched. And, simulatenously, they want Python's help to not use a pager at the interactive prompt. -- \ “The difference between religions and cults is determined by | `\ how much real estate is owned.” —Frank Zappa | _o__) | Ben Finney -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
