I'm suspecting that most of the negativity came from the lack of use cases for bags. Let me suggest an alternate idea: in the past, some people have suggested a "data structures" module to give reference implementations of standard data structures and algorithms. This would be a tool aimed more at making it easy to learn computer science with Python than providing the highest-speed quirky implementations; the focus would be on documenting the code. -- Aahz (aahz at pythoncraft.com) <*> http://www.pythoncraft.com/ A: No. Q: Is top-posting okay?
