R. David Murray added the comment: Like I said, you should take your use case to python-ideas, for a safe_eval that would handle it. literal_eval is not the place for handing 'set()', in my opinion. (There is always a chance other other devs will disagree, but none have so far :).
FYI, reprs are often evalable to get back the original value, but the key word there is 'eval', not 'literal_eval'. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue24663> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
