Yum, I must try harder to find the time to collect my memories on that
period, as I promised to bbum.
I remember that at that time I asked GvR a somewhat deeper change to
the calling mechanism in Python to allow, with a new flag, a method to
collect its keyword args in a dual-faced object behaving both as list
and as a dictionary, thus permitting a closer look&feel between the
two languages by respecting keywords order, as is in ObjC. I even
produced some sort of patch against Python 1.2, but Guido never
accepted the proposal, and finally dropped official objc support (in
1.3?) :/
Thanx for bringing this to my attention ;-)
bye, lele.
