New submission from Virgil Dupras: What prompted me to do these changes is that "Backward compatibility" section for 2.1 and earlier. How long are we going to keep this? According to svn, no commit has been made on the 2.1 branch since 2003. Is it safe to assume no unittest change is ever going to be backported to 2.1?
Then, while I was in it, I made other changes: - dict.has_key(key) --> key in dict - raise Exception, args --> raise Exception(args) - try..except KeyboardInterrupt: raise except: do_stuff() --> try..except Exception: do_stuff() - __metaclass__ = type --> all classes are now object subclasses I'm not sure about the last one. Are those 2 equivalent? Is there a reason to keep is as "__metaclass__ = type"? regrtest passed for me. ---------- components: Tests files: unittest_modern.diff messages: 62622 nosy: vdupras severity: minor status: open title: unittest.py modernization type: feature request versions: Python 2.6 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file9479/unittest_modern.diff __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2153> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
