Yes, basically the "yield *" and "yield from" are the two possibilities
that come up every once in a while.

Would that someone wrote a PEP, so that we can get a decision at some time.

[Python-Dev] Mark old distutils as deprecated

2009-02-08 Thread Tarek Ziadé
Hello

To avoid confusion, as suggested by Akira who works on cleaning the
Distutils pages on the python.org website,
I would like to move http://svn.python.org/view/distutils/trunk into a
branch and add a README.txt in an empty trunk
to explain the current status of the package.

Any objection ?

Regards,
Tarek

That seems fine to me.

You haven't received any feedback so far, so I recommend going ahead and
submitting the patch to ensure that it doesn't get lost.

That would be reasonable, too. I don't really have any
strong feelings about the syntax at the moment, except
that I'd like it to be something reasonably short so
that embedding it in an expression is a feasible thing
to do.
