I suggest you take a look at the 2.6 release notes (http://docs.python.org/whatsnew/2.6.html http://docs.python.org/whatsnew/2.6.html), the number of items on here that constitute simple syntax transformations is dwarfed by the number that require active work in the VM.
- andreyf 17y agoAbsolutely, that would requre a ton of work to upgrade. Looking through that page is precisely what convinced me the moratorium is a practical thing for the language. But most changes there aren't semantic, either. I'm talking about changes to the language, not the implementation, changes like the "with" statement, like new packages, not changes like how site-packages works. Maybe my point was a little on the subtle side: being able to implement changes to a language's syntax and semantics without doing it again for each and every implementation is a better solution to one problem the moratorium is solving.
