No need for Pythonic Theses. I don't see anybody disagreeing with the end goal. The issue comes up with *how* to get there. I say "do it incrementally" while others say "do it all at once." Personally, I don't think it is possible to do all at once. As a corollary, if you can't do it all at once, but you *require* that it be done all at once, then you have effectively deferred the problem. To put it another way, Guido has already invented a reason to not do it: he just requires that it be done all at once. Result: it won't be done. [ not saying this was Guido's intent or desire... but this is how I read the result :-) ] Cheers, -g -- Greg Stein, http://www.lyra.org/
