It should be fixed, yes, but breaking existing code is going to piss off a lot of people (like me) who already have enough worries when upgrading Python. It is apparent that there *is* code out there that relies on this behaviour, we shouldn't break it wlily-nilly. A warning when CPython encounters the case that will change behaviour in the next CPython release and in other implementations is almost as good as changing the behaviour. -- Thomas Wouters <thomas at python.org> Hi!
