Not beyond what the lead developer has been posting on the newsgroup,

Hi Python folks!
I came across a piece of code kicking around a sourcebase that
does something similar to the following:

def foo():
bar = 'abcdefg'
foo = [ 'a' ]
# Should throw SyntaxError?
for foo[0]in bar:

If you need the same ordering in two lists, you really should sort the
lists - though your comparison function need not be that traditional. You
might be able to get away with not sorting sometimes, but on CPython
upgrades or using different Python interpreters (Pypy, Jython), it's almost
certain

Because I consider well-formed XML to wrap at 70 characters and indent
children, I end up with a lot of extra white space in the node.text string. (I
parse with ElementTree.)
