The primary motivation behind the suggestion seems to be the fact that the feature is abused. However, the documentation has no info whatsoever on what is the intended use -- thus what constitutes abuse. Without that, the accusations are kind of baseless -- how can we blame package authors for having to figure it out for themselves? I've made a PR with the corresponding note. Since the discussion has revealed a number of valid use cases for the feature for which there are no adequate alternatives currently, I hope it will diminish the discontent and be grounds to incite package authors to remove unnecessary logic from there. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue33944> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
