Dear Fredrik, I have read the original messages on fr.comp.lang.python, and I don't understand your answer. It is not about a fear of introducing new local variables, but for me it is an elegant solution to a common problem, to avoid creation of useless variables (what in french we call "variables muettes", like indexes in loops who are just there because some langages level is too low). It also avoid the increase of parenthesis depth, and so the readability is enhanced. And it solve a problem that in all object oriented langages, a method that process 2 or more different classes of objets belongs just to one of those classes. All this kind of problems appears often to me (and in different langages), and contrarily to you, I'm very impressed by the compacity and elegance of the solution. I think it would be nice if implemented in different langages (because it breaks nothing), and firstly Python. Best regards, Al PS : sorry for my approximative english, but my natural langage is french. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
