I'm not sure why Greg is pushing his Grammar idea so aggressively.
Because I believe that any extra complexity in the grammar needs a very strong justification. It's complexity in the core language, like a new keyword, so it puts a burden on everyone's brain. Saying "I don't think anyone would ever need to write this, therefore we should disallow it" is not enough, given that there is a substantial cost to disallowing it. If you don't think there's a cost, consider that we *both* seem to be having trouble predicting the consequences of your proposed syntax, and you're the one who invented it. That's not a good sign! -- Greg _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
