To me, it just feels like a missing core feature. What I'm talking about is something far simpler and less ambitious than what I would expect to see in an external addon but something that might likely be useful to any/all such things. I have decided that it makes more sense for me to publish something like what I'm looking for in a library of tools though, and then use that as the basis for a new post after I have that ready. _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-ideas.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/[email protected]/message/5JQXHETABMXTKPGDLDCAWQS3W3C7LBK4/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
