Upon reading the issue threads linked by @xtreak, I have changed my mind and think this is a bad idea. 1) It adds more to maintain without offering much benefit (the use case of the shortcut is probably quite rare) 2) The argument 'mode' only accepting two options is probably a bit unintuitive, considering it typically accepts many others in other ocurrences of this type of functionality. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue36181> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
