In nice contrast to people who do the opposite when directly requested to stop. I think you carried out a model PEP process, making frequent revisions as warrented by comments. I also thought the process had about run its course, with pretty much every thing said, with people repeating things, and without the proposal gaining enough traction to go anywhere. So nice to end gracefully. Oh, and I did learn something new about how to 'abuse' class and metaclass. Terry Jan Reedy -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
