> 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." But in a later message, after additional discussion, he acknowledged there could be reasons to change and said, "we needn't rush this." So if the docs do describe the current implementation, I think it should warn people that this behavior might not be subject to the same backwards compatibility guarantees as other documented behavior. ---------- nosy: +chris.jerdonek _______________________________________ 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
