Pablo, I never intended disrespect toward you personally. And I am sorry my words came across that way. I would rather the feature be one of Python's more esoteric qualities. I think Carol has described the most reasonable way forward. And in particular, I like this creative idea: > A Sphinx extension may also be made to show a simple user-friendly view and > with a click the fully accurate view. I agree too with Raymond in this point: > I don't think inclusion in 3.9 should be automatic. As anecdata: I showed the PEP and feature to an intermediate class of 15 professional software engineers today. The first question I got was, "when should I use that in my Python code?" And I think the answer is rarely. We reviewed the motivating cases in the PEP and those made sense to them. But I was left feeling concern that if it were prominent and frequent in the docs then people will be likely to imitate, not least of which through simple copy/paste, what they see there without understanding the C-API and why it is that way. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue37134> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
