Short-circuiting all that, to #1 I say we can hope; to #2, not if Microsoft can stop it <0.3 wink>. > I don't think I'm overestimating you, Aaron. It would be hard to overestimate Aaron!

There are several other PEPs that deal with doc strings, notably 256-258, which I like much better. PEP 228 - Reworking Python's Numeric Model - Zadka, van Rossum This is way too much Py-in-the-sky. There are way too many unresolved issues, and many aren't even mentioned in the PEP. I think it should be rejected; maybe if there is interest in the future a task force or ...

Python offers an interactive environment in which to explore procedural, functional and object oriented approaches to problem solving. Its high level data structures and clear syntax make it an ideal first language, while the large number of existing libraries make it suitable to tackle almost any programming tasks.

...*" argument parser in PyArg_ParseTuple and friends, which occurred when the argument for "s*" was correctly parsed but parsing of subsequent arguments failed.

Issue #2534: speed up isinstance() and issubclass() by 50-70%, so as to match Python 2.5 speed despite the __instancecheck__ / __subclasscheck__ mechanism. In the process, fix a bug where isinstance...

Computer Programming for Everybody Computer Programming for Everybody This is the text of a revised funding proposal that we sent to DARPA in August 1999. In March, we heard that at least an earlier version of the proposal was accepted by DARPA; the work has begun late 1999 and will hopefully last two years, although we've only received funding for the first year (through October 2000). We're keeping our fingers crossed for the rest. Unfortunately, the move of the Python developm...
