You can do the same thing to replace int, float, dict, len, and all the other built-in classes and functions. Why is Ellipsis so special that it needs protection, especially when, as you note, ... is an available unoverrideable way to refer to it? Making new keywords is a high bar (because it can break existing code). What justifies this one beyond "don't want folks to mess with a barely used name"? ---------- nosy: +josh.r _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue41652> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
