    ...language pure in terms of UTF-8, and implement encodings as site-specific (?) hooks. But nobody agreed with him, and I've responded myself saying that I think it's best to do it MAL's way. PEP 265 - Sorting Dictionaries by Value - Griffin This is a small idea that's very important to its proposer, but that IMO attempts to solve a problem that is better solved in some other way, e.g. by teaching newbies the correct algorithm/idiom.

    ...language. If we now agree that this is GPL-compatible, we'll have to live with it forever, because other people will copy it from your license. And it still contains more risks for the future than we think it is wise to incur. So let's take paragraph 7 and reduce it to the no-joint-venture clause, which we also think is unnecessary, but which is harmless. It would then read: 7. Nothing in this License Agreement shall be deemed to create any relationship of agency, partnersh...

Slice objects are now comparable but n...
