Paul Moore <p.f.mo...@gmail.com> added the comment: Agreed about the compatibility. It's there from pkgutil, where to be honest, it's even less necessary, as simplegeneric was for internal use only, there. I'm certainly not aware of any backward compatibility requirements for functools.
Assuming nobody speaks up to the contrary, I'll rip out the compatibility bits in the next version of the patch. I'm unsure about the non-decorator version of register. I can imagine use cases for it - consider pprint, for example, where you might want to register str as the overload for your particular type. But it's not a big deal either way. _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5135> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
