Mark Shannon <m...@hotpy.org> added the comment: Stating that "this is a feature not a bug" does not make it so. This breaks existing code and reduces the capabilities of the `ast` module. For example, how does one get the location of the docstring now?
>From a syntactic point of view. def foo(): "help" and def foo(): b'"help" barely differ. The S in AST stands for Syntax not Semantics. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue32911> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
