Terry J. Reedy <tjre...@udel.edu> added the comment:
It is an implementation detail that some people need to know, and that is very unlikely to change. In the pydev thread, Guido said " My feeling is that limiting it to strings is fine, but checking those strings for resembling identifiers is pointless and wasteful." We occasionally document such things in a 'CPython implementation detail' note. I don't know the proper markup for these. At present, I think the note should be in setattr and **kwargs docs. ---------- nosy: +terry.reedy _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue35105> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
