Steven D'Aprano added the comment: I think you may have misread PEP 8. It does not recommend a trailing underscore for names that shadow built-ins (e.g. file_ instead of file), it only recommends a trailing underscore when you need to use a keyword as a name (e.g. class_ instead of class). Shadowing built-ins should be done with care, but is permitted.
If there is little or no risk of confusion with the built-ins, there is no need to worry about shadowing them. It's just another name. ---------- nosy: +stevenjd _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue20792> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
