R. David Murray added the comment: Per our conversation on IRC: since this is not a regression, it is unlikely to be addressed at this stage of the 3.6 release cycle. I'm adding the release manager as nosy just in case, but I don't expect him to want this to be addressed now.
IMO if the behavior does not match "the posix shell", then it is a bug, and can be fixed in 3.6.1. (I'd prefer not to wait longer than that, though). So proposing a patch with tests and doc changes would be beneficial. As for the flag defaults, that's a backward compatibility issue. I don't like the idea of changing the default based on the value of another flag, but it could be discussed. The 'longer term' would be a several release deprecation cycle...I think that has been discussed previously but I can't find the discussion in a quick search. The documentation, however, could be improved. Please open a separate issue for the doc change request at least. ---------- nosy: +ned.deily _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue28595> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
