Cool thing is that now that 'print' isn't a keyword, you can actually write that as: from cleverness import print and put whatever functionality you like into cleverness.py. The only thing you *can't* do that way is mess with syntax - and if you want to prototype a change to syntax, you can play with MacroPy. So you can actually publish something and ask people to try using it. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
