Seems that's what Guido thinks too: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2005-September/056561.html | If there's one thing I've learned from the PEP 308 vote, it is that | votes for language don't work. I prefer some discussion on Python-dev | after which I pick one. I think he said at the time that it was an experiment. John -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
