There are a myriad of uses for dictionaries and the namedtuple docs don't seem like to right place to cover them (**unpacking, str.format_map, str.__mod__, etc). Even the dict and OrderedDict docs don't cover these. Also, the use of somefunc(**nt._asdict()) isn't a common pattern. A requirement for **unpacking tends to nudge design choices towards an actual mapping rather than a tuple or tuple subclass for the underlying data store. That is likely why this hasn't come-up before. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue32854> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
