Terry J. Reedy <tjre...@udel.edu> added the comment: Victor, the issue for 3.x, which remains, is to improve the error message. I also suggested a doc change, though I would like Mark or Martin's comments before I would make it.

Exactly. 'Older versions' includes older versions of 2.7. This is why I suggested that making the change to 2.7 would be a feature addition, which is not permitted for the very reason you give. I think the commit should be reverted. Certainly, when a another developer says "This patch should be rejected and not committed' after careful review, you should discuss, possibly on pydev, before committing. ---------- resolution: fixed -> status: closed -> open versions: +Python 3.2, Python 3.3 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue3067> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
