Terry J. Reedy added the comment: In general, users and instructors are demanding more options, not less.
'extensions' could be renamed 'plug-ins'. The current system could use some rethinking, since the choice between a feature being 'built-in' versus a 'built-in extension' is at least partly historical accident. I think having Run-module be optional should go. Having that named 'ScriptBinding' in the extension config is mystifying to anyone who does not know the reason. With Run_module disabled, the debugger than only operates when a module is run makes no sense. etc. Other than that, I am inclined to close this issue. This proposal strikes me a similar to defining 'Beginner Python'. Instructors may do that for didactic purposes (sometime infuriating more advanced students), but Python itself does not support subsetting. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue24810> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
