Here's a condensed list of the open issues that have been raised by people so far:
(Well, edited somewhat - I'm including 'major' issues, not minor nits -- we can discuss those once the major issues are settled.) 1) Whether to drop the optional parts of the proposal: -- support for field expressions (was: locals() support) -- support for direct access to current scope (was: locals() support) 2) Should this PEP be targeted at Python 2.6 or 3.0? 3) Role and usage of custom formatters: "string".fformat( formatter, ... ) vs. MyFormat( "string" ).format( ... ) (note: I want to make it clear that the purpose of custom formatters is to override the formatting on a *per-field basis*, but at the same time the custom formatter should have access to the surrounding context.) 4) Should there be a way to pass in a dict argument without flattening it via **args? 5) Should the implementation attempt to detect unused arguments? I'd like to get some sense of the answers before the next revision of the PEP. -- Talin _______________________________________________ Python-3000 mailing list Python-3000@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-3000 Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-3000/archive%40mail-archive.com
