I don't think changing a function signature in an incompatible way is generally acceptable. You might make one of the arguments optional, though (but keeping the current semantics when the argument *is* passed). If it's not possible, you can add another function with the intended behaviour. The importlib bootstrapping has already had some (unavoidable) disruptive consequences. Let's keep them to a minimum. People *rely* on our APIs, even the less popular ones. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14551> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
