Yury Selivanov <yseliva...@gmail.com> added the comment: This isn't something we want to do in Python. We have a dynamic but strict type system. 1 + '1' is an error in Python, but works just fine in JavaScript. Likewise, in 'await foo' foo is expected to be an awaitable in Python and not anything else. This has been discussed multiple times during PEP 492 approval process.
I've been beaten myself by lose semantics of await in JS by awaiting a function that returned null—a simple bug that turned out to be a nightmare to identify in a complex system. So unfortunately I have to close this one as "won't fix", sorry. Thank you for suggesting the idea though. ---------- resolution: -> rejected stage: -> resolved status: open -> closed type: -> behavior _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue34380> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
