Right. Then we can have "does the brace go on the same line or the next line" wars.
int main (void) { if (true) { }
return 0; }
There is no other way.
No way, that wastes an entire line of code with a single brace!
int main ( void ) {
if ( true ) {
return 1;
}
return 0;
}
This is clearly better. Compact yet easy to read. I try formatting my
Python code exactly like this and it always complains about my braces..

Why not? It's a cheap way to increase your LOC/month power. :)

Good point, but that is why I like to make sure my code is well
documented. The more detailed the code is documented the higher the
LOC/month. :)
Actually, I do document rather well usually. I'm especially fond of
pydoc allowing a program to access it's own documentation. I love being
able to get the help for my XML-RPC methods just by formatting (as HTML)
the existing Python docs for those methods. Very tidy.

subjective, and what is "clearly better" to one is confusing to another.)
Is it so difficult to accept that this is a personal style/preference issue?
I agree that having a consistent form across an entire project makes things
simpler overall, it's not worth the aggravation of coercing a style on those
who vigorously and adamantly prefer their own. Furthermore,...
Oh wait, Python doesn't *have* braces! Whew! (What a funny subject for a

Paul,
What you're seeing here is a couple Pythonistas mocking C and Java
programmers who take these sorts of arguments dead-seriously. (But
not Perl programmers: they don't actually use braces. :)
Here at Python, we like to think that we argue about more important
things. It's part of the Zen of Python: there should only be one way
to do it. Because when there's more than one way to do it, you get
arguments like this.
"More than one way to do it" has led to the space vs. tab arguments we
have here. As far as I'm concerned, the biggest problem with spaces
and tabs is that you can use either, i.e., there's *unnecessarily*
more than one way to do it. And the Python Gods are rightly getting
rid of that.

Well after all this discussion it would appear that a 'Python like'
language has appeared => Prothon. http://www.prothon.org/index.html
Very alpha, sort of like Python (if you consider the indenting is what
makes Python unique) and sort of Ruby in its use of prefixes to define
scoping etc (although there is no reference to this trait being borrowed
from Ruby). It also quotes Self as being an influence.

(instance, static, and class methods).

So far, I have not installed Prothon, nor I have experience with Io, Self

that Python metaclasses + descriptors are more than powerful enough to

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
