Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: Core (C code) Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: John Reese (johnreese) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: change repr(...) from 'Ellipsis' to '...' Initial Comment: Given that in Python 3000 you can now use ... as an expression, it seemed like its repr might as well be ... too. The thread quoted in pep 3100 as the reason for the decision suggested using '(int, ...)' as a type annotation; in such expressions, having ... print as ... would be more readable. Note that this would break any doctests including ellipses; none of the Lib/test tests do, and the non-doctests don't care about the repr and still pass. Since prior to Python 3000 ... could only be used in slices, it's unlikely this will break much. I have now written about 100 times more characters than are changed by the patch. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=305470&aid=1673355&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Patches mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/patches
