[Python-Dev] [RELEASED] Python 3.4.1
On behalf of the Python development community and the Python 3.4 release team, I'm pleased to announce the availability of Python 3.4.1. Python 3.4.1 has over three hundred bugfixes and other improvements over 3.4.0. One notable change: the version of OpenSSL bundled with the Windows installer no longer has the "HeartBleed" vulnerability.

Re: [Python-Dev] Returning None from methods that mutate object state

It is my understanding that the convention is for mutators to return None, in order to make it clear that the change is destructive. For example, the tutorial at https://docs.python.org/3.4/tutorial/datastructures.html says: """ You might have noticed that methods like insert, remove or sort that modify the list have no return value printed – they return None. [1] This is a design principle for all mutable data structures in Python. """ Methods like list.pop and dict.pop would seem like a case of "practicality beats purity" because it's more convenient (and faster) to delete and retrieve value at the same go. ___ Python-Dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
