R. David Murray <rdmur...@bitdance.com> added the comment: Well, it would be an "unenhancement" (reducing functionality :).
What I think it would be classed as is an API bug fix, and those generally can be made only in feature releases. I can imagine code depending on this ability, since we have had code in the wild that depends on the ability to put non-string keys in an object's __dict__ even before SimpleNamespace existed. (By the way, dir is broken if an object's __dict__ contains non-string keys.) ---------- nosy: +r.david.murray _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue31655> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
