The extra value for `fold` was just the opt-in mechanism. At a high level, I'm questioning the "_never_ raise an exception" PEP 495 behavior. It grates. "Errors should never pass silently" and such. Which of "always raise an exception" or "opt-in" would be better is secondary to me at this point. There's little point to arguing about the low-order bits before there's consensus on the high-order bit. _______________________________________________ Datetime-SIG mailing list [email protected] https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/datetime-sig The PSF Code of Conduct applies to this mailing list: https://www.python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
