As a Python user (and not a committer), I disagree. As an user, I don't care too much where the function should be placed (although I believe os or sys are sensible choices). What I do care is that I want a extremely simple function that will "just work". Don't make me add code for handling all the extra cases, such code should be inside the function. All this discussion about the API made me remember this presentation: http://python-for-humans.heroku.com/ Also, I see no downside of using a Named Tuple. Issue 4285 actually added a named tuple to the sys.version_info. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13609> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
