Message 51980 - Python tracker (original) (raw)

Thanks for submitting this. Nice summary of the different cases. I think very few people have given this that much thought. :)

You need a patch for the docs if you want this to even get considered. Then the main obstacle is convincing the team that the nice new logical behavior is worth the breakage. I would be surprised if it got through.

And Python 3000 is not going to be the "subtle breakage" release. I would give you better odds if your patch created new APIs instead, and documented exactly what's useful about the model you're suggesting.
