Thanks for any comment.

"foreach: for x in array: statements
Loops over the array given by array. On
each iteration, the value of the current
element is assigned to x and the
internal array pointer is advanced by one. "

This could be a useful addition to Python.

numarray is no longer supported. It has
been supplanted by numpy.

How is OOP defined?

for-in could be a useful addition to Python? looks like Guido's used
his time machine again, then, since it's been around since the pre-1.0 days:

He somehow must have misinterpreted

http://www.astro.ufl.edu/~warner/prog/python.html

which has the exact text he quoted. Unfortunately, this text has
foreach in bold, so he might have assumed foreach to be a keyword
(despite the example to the right demonstrating the contrary).

What this has to do with OO, or with numpy, is beyond me.

Thanks.

for_stmt ::= "for" target_list "in"
expression_list ":" suite
