Glenn Linderman <v+pyt...@g.nevcal.com> added the comment: Graham, Thanks for your comments. Fortunately, if the new charset parameter is not supplied, no mucking with stdout or stderr is done, which is the only reason I cannot argue strongly against the feature, which I would have implemented as a separate API... it doesn't get in the way if you don't use it.
I would be happy to see the argv code removed, but it has been there longer than I have been a Python user, so I just live with it ... and don't pass arguments to my CGI scripts anyway. I've assumed that is some sort of a debug feature, but I also saw some code in the HTTPCGIServer and http.server that apparently, on some platforms, actually do pass parameters to CGI on the command lines. I would be happy to see that code removed too, but it also predates my Python experience. And no signs of "if debug:" by either of them! ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4953> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
