The problem with this is that people who `from random import *` (some schools insist on this, probably because most functions they need already start with `rand`) will shadow builtin `bytes`. Not that those schools do anything with `bytes`, but still, it might be inconvenient. (The metaproblem is of course that some functions already do the "poor man's namespacing" in C-style by starting with `rand`, and some don't. I'm always for user control of namespacing, but I'm just saying that it doesn't correspond to how many beginners use `random` module.) ---------- nosy: +veky _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue40286> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
