I would like to see trailing commas supported consistently, especially in function calls. (I think the patch here only does function definitions?) I like to use them when writing arguments on multiple lines, and it is surprising that adding packed *positional arguments can trigger a syntax error. Maybe this is stretching the scope a bit too far, but it would also be nice to allow more keyword arguments after the **keyword unpacking: print(1, 2, end=".\n", *(3, 4)) # Supported, but confusing print(1, 2, *(3, 4), end=".\n") # Better; also suported print(1, 2, **dict(sep="-"), end=".\n") # Unsupported, but would be nice print(end=".\n", 1, 2) # Unsupported, for good reason Maybe some of this is covered by Issue 2292 (generalizing * unpacking), but I haven’t been following that, so I’m not sure. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9232> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
