Terry J. Reedy <tjre...@udel.edu> added the comment:
I checked https://docs.python.org/3/library/dis.html and there is no mention of dis having a command-line interface. This suggests that _test is likely present only for testing the module, not for using it. This was common a couple of decades ago before we had unittests. If _test were considered obsolete, it could be removed. By suggesting that the command line interface by upgraded, I suspect that you are implicitly suggesting that it be considered 'official'. If so, that '_test' should become '_main' (where the underscore leaves it out of __all__), and the CLI documented as in other modules with a CLI. (I am not up on the details and policy around this issue.) It may be appropriate to start a discussion of python-ideas. ---------- nosy: +terry.reedy, yselivanov _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue44405> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
