What would be the full specification of this? If you want to use it for column names, what happens if the string starts with a $, or some character that can't be used by your particular database? I'm skeptical that this could be general purpose enough to be used in a wide range of situations, without having a dozen or so parameters to it. I'm thinking of things like: - ascii-only? - result must be a valid python identifier - certain special characters not allowed anywhere - certain other special characters not allowed at the start of the string etc. We'd need a full specification before deciding to accept this. ---------- nosy: +eric.smith _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue40437> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
