Also, taking the Tk example that I used, it can be changed in the following way:

on Button(self) as b: b.text = "QUIT" b.fg = "red" b.command = self.quit pack({"side": "left"}) on Button(self) as b: b.text = "Hello" b.command = self.sayhi pack({"side": "left"}) Using a syntax which reseambles the with one.

So what is the advantage to

b = Button(self) b.text = "QUIT" b.fg = "red" b.command = self.quit

?

-- Thus spake the Lord: Thou shalt indent with four spaces. No more, no less. Four shall be the number of spaces thou shalt indent, and the number of thy indenting shall be four. Eight shalt thou not indent, nor either indent thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to four. Tabs are right out.
