LOL. Youre right of course :) `...` is already in python though. Better to generalise and/or extend an already existing construct than to add a new one, I would assert. Youre also right about `...` being less visible than other pairs of delimiters. I think, though, that if modifying the % notation, that the requirement should be for delimiters that are not parentheses, and ones that wouldn't interfere with putting expressions between them. This would allow for eval()ing the content between the delimiters. > -----Original Message----- > From: guido@pcp02138704pcs.reston01.va.comcast.net > [mailto:guido@pcp02138704pcs.reston01.va.comcast.net] On > Behalf Of Guido van Rossum > Sent: Thursday, 20 June 2002 00:08 > To: Damien Morton > Subject: Re: [Python-Dev] PEP 292, Simpler String Substitutions > > > > I stand by my position though.
