I would think that deprecating error-prone constructs is well within normal library evolution. For example, several interfaces that accepted floats by truncating them to ints were deprecated in the past. PS: "aesthetical" != "gratuitous" Someone using more than 3 positional arguments to timedelta most likely expects timedelta(days, hours, minutes, seconds, microseconds) rather than timedelta(days, seconds, microseconds, milliseconds, minutes, ...) Has anyone seen (non-buggy) code in the wild that used > 3 positional arguments to timedelta? (Mark just asked me not to use 2!) ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9169> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
