Martin Panter added the comment: I object to dropping the brackets from the function signatures. Now it gives the impression that the functions accept keyword arguments:
ioctl(fd, request, arg=0, mutate_flag=True) but: >>> ioctl(0, 0, bytearray(), mutate_flag=False) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> TypeError: ioctl() takes no keyword arguments There is already a little bit of precedent for this, e.g. the built-in eval() function, but I would prefer using square brackets, or some other non-Python syntax indicator. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue22832> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
