Raymond Hettinger <raymond.hettin...@gmail.com> added the comment: It's clutter and we should show some restraint before adding new types.
Enthought's Python Distribution isn't shy about adding tools when they have a demonstrated need. Likewise, Django adds any reusable tools they need. Neither have a dict proxy. I've never run into a use case for it and haven't seen any feature requests for it. PyPi doesn't have package for it (at least not one with any uptake). The languages doesn't *need* this, nor do the other implementations which are trying to keep up with CPython. Guido may let you put in it, but that doesn't mean you should. Again, I ask you to show some restraint. The language has already exploded beyond what fits into most developer's heads (even core devs don't even know about many the newer features). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14386> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
