Eli Bendersky <eli...@gmail.com> added the comment: Makes sense. I agree that publicly exposing the left/right attributes makes sense. But let's do it properly:
1. Add an example to the documentation 2. Add some tests to Lib/test/test_filecmp.py that verify these attributes behave as expected In addition, I think it makes a lot of sense to add an optional "stream" argument to the report() and report_*() methods, to at leas allow reporting to some custom channel and not solely stdout. The report() method does a lot more than your simple example demonstrates, and it's not very easy to replace its functionality. Would you like to submit a full patch for this? ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15269> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
