[Python-ideas] out of list

[Riobard Zhan]

To all of you who participated in this (not so fruitful) discussion,

I sincerely thank you for your precious time and thought. Although we  
failed to yield anything very useful for later Python users to clear  
up the issue of colons, I do appreciate your effort and patience. If  
there is any bad emotions generated during the process, please do not  
take it personally; that's not the purpose---after all, we all want to  
make our beloved language better and better.


Sincerely yours,
Riobard
