Hello Fredrik,

I didn't think my comment would offend anyone, I'm sorry if it did. I 
have been developping in Python for about 5 years, my company uses 
Python as a scripting language for all of its products. We use Jython 
for our server products. I think I know it pretty well by now. So I 
think I have earned the right to try to suggest improvements to the 
language or at least intelligent discussion of new features without need 
for offensive comments, don't you think?
