The third option is that those at the drawing board of python come to the conclusion that some aspect of python is needlessly confusing and change the design. I also find your comparison disingenous. The responses I see often enough are not simply: this is how python works. They are often enough something like: How can you find this confusing, you shouldn't. If the regulars would answer more something like: Yes it can be confusing, you are not the only one, but let me explain what is going on. and the other would keep complaining about it being confusing, you would have a point. Instead the regulars all too often go on a tangent on how it shouldn't be confusing or something similar and then they are surprised that the exchange that follows isn't very fruitful. -- Antoon Pardon
