Category: Python Library Group: None >Status: Closed Resolution: Rejected Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Aaron Brady (ascription) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: new functool: "defaults" decorator Initial Comment: Python feature Functools gains a new decorator. `Defaults' allows its caller to placehold non-None defaults; it becomes unnecessary to know the value a place defaults to. It might be useful in cases where you want the calling signature to look alike for a group of dispatched functions and the added overhead the decorator adds isn't a problem. But you probably wouldn't want that overhead all the time, so having it as an optional decorator would be good. -Ron Adam ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Raymond Hettinger (rhettinger) Date: 2007-05-27 23:51 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=80475 Originator: NO Rejecting due to lack of support. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Georg Brandl (gbrandl) Date: 2007-05-15 09:47 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=849994 Originator: NO Moving to Feature Requests, adapting summary. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Josiah Carlson (josiahcarlson) Date: 2007-05-15 09:25 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=341410 Originator: NO This is not a bug. Should move to Feature Requests at minimum, patches if the text file is an actual patch. Generally the poster desires that a catch-all default argument be allowed to be passed to any function with default arguments to signal that the original defaults should be used; like foo(123, default, 456) rather than foo(123, arg3=456). This proposal received no support in python-ideas. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=355470&aid=1719222&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
