Exactly the same disallowed you just > agreed with. What's allowed and what's disallowed depends on whether a program just "loads" or "actually starts to run". While it loads, it can do all the tricks Python can do now. When it starts to run, then the actual "strict" restrictions are applied. That's the crucial part of the proposal, required to understand other aspects of the proposal. > > > Or are all functions automatically considered to be > > > constants? > > > > That's the case, right. > > Okay, so all functions are automatically constants.

It's strict. And it has many (more than one for sure) uses. One of the uses is to improve code structure (or understanding of it) of the existing codebases. > -- > Steve -- Best regards, Paul mailto:[email protected] _______________________________________________ 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/KDHWSDFD2YNSHB76TWUJJ6TC6LMY4MOZ/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
