See https://bugs.python.org/issue34605 uh ... i just popped over to that python.org discussion, and it does not even *remotely* resemble what you describe. the gist of that discussion is that most people seem opposed to a sweeping change, and are annoyed about all the bandwidth that was wasted by one person harping about this. based on what i read at that link, python has in no way "taken a stance," so i'm calling you on your rather egregious misrepresentation of what happened there. rday
