This API is already overloaded with two distinct algorithms -- see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16645083 . If new functionality is truly needed, it should be in a separate method rather than feature creeping in additional variants. Also, the OP's post seems to be grounded in an initial misreading of the docs rather than in compelling use cases for a new option. So, there may be room for improving the documentation, especially the examples. ---------- assignee: -> docs@python components: +Documentation -Library (Lib) nosy: +docs@python, rhettinger versions: +Python 3.9 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue37620> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
