Similar to *what*? It can’t be similar to your use case if you don’t have a use case for it to be similar to. If you really can’t imagine why something might be useful, and nobody else has ever asked for it, it probably isn’t actually needed. Sure, there are rare exceptions to that, but that shouldn’t be your default assumption for everything that could ever conceivably be done. > where this would make things better.

There are zillions of lines of open source Python code easily searchable. There may be a few kinds of problems that are likely to only come up in proprietary code, but something generic like this is just as likely to be useful to Django or MusicBrainz or Jupyter or DNF or even the Python stdlib as to some internal Dropbox service or the guts of the Civ V scripting engine. So the fact that you can’t search the Dropbox or Firaxis source is not actually a big problem. _______________________________________________ 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/ZF2KSSWXGEY4C6HFBBS64XV3BA2HUGX7/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
