I don't want to revert, see discussions in this issue and PR-5927. And would you give us real world example of "variety of users"? How many applications use ast.parse for such way? ---------- _______________________________________ 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
