Nick Coghlan added the comment: For the sake of folks writing single-source code, and needing to support Python 2.7 for at least as long as we're supporting it upstream, I believe it would be beneficial to have consistency here.
For those that didn't follow the Fedora/RHEL issue chain, the original Fedora 19 bug report was https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=917709 and the corresponding "won't fix" upstream issue was issue 17748. Unfortunately, in addition to only helping in a subset of cases, the workaround we applied also extends the affected APIs in an undocumented way that's incompatible with the Python 3 changes to the same API, so I've suggested that regardless of the verdict upstream, we should bring the API extension into line with Python 3 downstream. ---------- nosy: +bkabrda, ncoghlan, rkuska _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue25084> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
