Raymond Hettinger added the comment: -1 Once the positional arguments are in the wild, you can't take them away without breaking a lot of code.
This code was available as a third-party module prior to inclusion in Python and had many happy users. If the positional arguments had been a sticking point, it would have been known long ago. The time to express these concerns is when a module is being added. Afterwards, the API churn just isn't worth it. We don't want to create more obstacles to upgrading or converting from Python 2. ---------- assignee: -> rhettinger _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue18726> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
