I don't think we're going to accomplish anything continuing the eternal static-vs-dynamic debate, which in Python's case has already been resolved by adding optional static typing. It's a done deal, and the issue here is just how to document it. Erlang (via the Erlang Dialyzer), Clojure, and Racket have all been down a similar road and gained some value from it. Haskell's Maybe type (its version of Option) works fine. In Python the convention of returning None for a missing value is not great, but we are stuck with it and Option[whatever] is helpful. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue38333> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
