Hi,

I have a student who may be interested in adding syntactic support for
sets to Python, so that:

    x = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}

and:

    y = {z for z in x if (z % 2)}

would be legal.  There are of course issues (what's the syntax for a
frozen set? for the empty set?), but before he even starts, I'd like to
know if this would ever be considered for inclusion into the language.

Thanks,
Greg

p.s. please Cc: me as well as the list, since I'm no longer subscribed.
