anatoly techtonik added the comment: The perl syntax supported $0 according to this doc http://turtle.ee.ncku.edu.tw/docs/perl/manual/pod/perlre.html but was removed for unknown reason. Using the fact that support is removed without knowing the true reason is "cargo cult argument", which I hope is not acceptable for Python development.
Among the possible reason can be binding of $0 to the __file__ analogue according to this doc - http://www.cs.cmu.edu/afs/cs/usr/rgs/mosaic/pl-predef.html ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue17426> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
