[Edu-sig] Fw: Python sequences by reference - how to make clear

Just to try to clear the air a bit, I don't want either to be seen as
advocating anything - at least in the sense of having some strong sense of
mission or righteousness on the issue.  The status quo did not defeat me,
and I don't think it will defeat anyone else with a willingness to
persevere.  Consider it a suggestion, and a suggestion I wouldn't even make
if I thought it was other than a minor tweak to the configuration of Python
and a 0 change to the substance of Python.

I am still trying to digest Kirby's take on it.

And no I would not expect Guido to change anything on the report of my
experience.  The only question is whether anything I am reporting might ring
true to Guido and stimulate an approach that might be somehow both minimal
and effective

If not, not.
