PDFL? Petty Dictator For Life? Poodle Dictator For Life? Perhaps Dictator For Life? :-)

I suggest that you update the PEP and then repost the pep on python-dev with a summary of the changes (to the PEP). I expect it to go smoothly.

I just posted on my blog about this. I am curious to see what the general public think, but I suspect it will stay as well. I was cranky at the sprint because of my 'args' removal. Don't need to make more people cranky. > e.message OTOH I think we can kill (perhaps deprecate it > in 2.6; it was added in 2.5, this may be a record :-). Should we just consider this a PDFL pronouncement, or should we more formally run this past python-dev? -Brett
