[Python-Dev] String concatenation (original) (raw)

Is the only issue with this feature that you might accidentally miss a comma after a string in a sequence of strings? That seems like a significantly obscure scenario compared to the usefulness of the current syntax, for exactly the purpose Barry points out (which most people use all the time).

I think the runtime concatenation costs are less important than the handiness of being able to break strings across lines without having to figure out where to put that '+' operator. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
