Apologies if I have not been clear on this.

But that is just printing, not semantic behaviour. What we are discussing here is to give a different semantic behaviour to exit NAME only in interactive mode. This is fundamentally different that just printing or make the parser show ">>>" every time it asks for a new line, as those are not changing the *meaning* of Python code. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue44603> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
