Serhiy Storchaka added the comment: The purpose was to make the dependence of unicodedata optional. Here is a patch that adds missing lines to clear import error.
But your approach looks reasonable too and the patch is correct. I have no strong preferences, but now I think that probably your approach is more preferable because it makes the code simpler and errors more explicit. Please commit your patch Victor if you don't see new reasons for original approach. ---------- assignee: -> haypo stage: -> commit review type: -> behavior Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file40338/namereplace_ignore_unicodedata_import_error.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue24993> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
