Guido van Rossum <gu...@python.org> added the comment:
I'm not a big user of the inspect module, but I always thought that its use was so that you could look at a function (or other object) *produced by a 3rd party* and learn something about it. Asking for the signature is one such operation, and I'd be rather upset if I couldn't inspect the annotation if that 3rd party happened to have added a bad string annotation. especially if I wasn't interested in the annotation part of the signature in the first place. (There's a lot of other useful info to be gleaned from it.) OTOH I think it's fine for get_annotations() to raise by default if there's a bad annotation. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue43817> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
