Thank you for that clarification. You are right, I didn't understand what you were asking for. I hope this will likewise clarify my position: I reject the premise that the system we choose must meet those criteria, and I oppose adopting the full Python syntax and semantics. >The Python specification is available at > >http://docs.python.org/reference/index.html > >with the lexical analysis at > >http://docs.python.org/reference/lexical_analysis.html Thanks, though that is exactly what I was looking at already. It leaves several details unclear, some of which I discussed in previous messages. Hence, I consider it slightly short of a *full* specification. It does, however, provide my grounds for opposing adoption of that scheme for CIF. >The complete source code and binaries are available at: Unless you propose to append a particular set of Python sources to the CIF specification as a reference, I have no interest in perusing the source code to seek answers to such questions of detail as I have. Furthermore, I would oppose adding such an appendix on the grounds that it would be exceedingly difficult to use to resolve questions such as mine. I am likewise unwilling to rely on the behavior the python binary that happens to be installed on my computer to answer them. If the correct behavior is not documented independent of the program then there is no particular reason to trust that it won't change in future versions, or that any particular implementation is correct or bug-free.
