My skin isn't thin, I just don't give a shit to listen to anyone one that doesn't get it. The point to Thesaurus for those that want to pay attention: The concept in these ~25 lines of code have changed the way I program Python and reduced existing functionally identical code up to 30%...and I like the code better. If that doesn't peak your interest, then move on...nothing here for you to see. If you feel it needs to be expanded/corrected, do it and share it. If you can do it better, re-implement it. That's why I sent it to the mailing list. > On Wed, 12 Dec 2012 17:44:24 +1100 > > Chris Angelico wrote: > > On Wed, Dec 12, 2012 at 5:34 PM, Steven D'Aprano > > > > wrote: > > > and you consider this "not productive, not worth my time".
