Eventh writes "The final release of Python 2.4 was just released. Python 2.4 is the result of almost 18 month's worth of work on top of Python 2.3. New features are, but not limited to, function decorators, generator expressions, a number of new module and more. Check out Andrew Kuchling's What's New In Python for a detailed view of some of the new features of Python 2.4. "

  1. braces? by rhaig · · Score: 0, Redundant

    has anyone written a module that will allow the use of braces rather than whitespace for code-block separation?

    If anyone does that, then a lot of the reasons for bitching about python go away. (my reasons at least)

    and I am NOT trying to start a python vs <insert language here> war. Just wondering if it's been done yet.

    aside from the braces/whitespace issue, the fact that the debugger is an external module and can be problematic, I really like python. (well, it's been a few years since I used it, but it was nice then)
