I found this bug searching after noticing weird behaviour in an error message saying sorted expects the reverse flag to be an integer, after it rejected None. This is very surprising. Why isn't it just casting the reverse parameter using bool() to discover it's truthyness? In [1]: bool(None) Out[1]: False In [2]: sorted(['a','c','b'], reverse=None) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- TypeError Traceback (most recent call last) <ipython-input-2-45ce9ce13044> in <module>() ----> 1 sorted(['a','c','b'], reverse=None) TypeError: an integer is required (got type NoneType) ---------- nosy: +lizardlizard _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue37980> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
