Pareto principle ~ 80:20 rule, or should that be written "80/20 rule" or maybe "80/20 Rule"... Python gives you the choice to use (or not use) many facilities. You may also choose to rename such facilities, or to re-use Python's own names to customise functionality. You have complete freedom to use Python in any way(s) you see fit. Thus:- Freedom noun UK /ˈfriː.dəm/ US /ˈfriː.dəm/ the condition or right of being able or allowed to do, say, think, etc. whatever you want to, without being controlled or limited: Cambridge Dictionary -- Regards, =dn -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
