From your statement (and I'm terribly sorry if I've taken it out of

You got the wrong impression. It's not frowned upon. It just is a lot of
extra effort to implemnt & thus makes the development of "normal"
features more complex.

The features of Python 3.0 are fixed; there are just a few remaining

look at the online manual at
