Raymond Hettinger added the comment: I don't think we should start down the path of changing APIs just to accommodate weakness in the generation of the text signature.
We don't want to encourage unreadable oddities like sorted(reverse=False, iterable=source). Best readability comes from the required positional argument for the iterable. Please don't create a new and unnecessary keyword argument. The current API is intentional. ---------- assignee: -> rhettinger nosy: +rhettinger _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue26729> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
