Interestingly enough, the final accepted patch (and the 2010 one) also fixes a bug where gettext.install(..., names='ngettext') would incorrectly work, in violation of the documentation. I think it would also incorrectly install 'gettext', too... It used to just check if names.__contains__ is a valid attribute, then check if 'foo' in names, so a dumb string "worked" and even matched more things than it should have. How I discovered this: I fixed a bug in a python project that stopped working on python 3.8, and had a bit of a head-scratch regarding how it ever worked to begin with: https://github.com/linuxmint/cinnamon/pull/8964 ---------- nosy: +eschwartz _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue2504> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
