Terry J. Reedy added the comment: I like this. It would make naming widgets more useful. I checked one Idle dialog and nothing is named. I suspect this is typical.
The proposed change would break a doctest that follows the fix in the doctest manual. --- >>> C() # the default repr() for instances embeds an address <__main__.C instance at 0x00AC18F0> The ELLIPSIS directive gives a nice approach for the last example: >>> >>> C() #doctest: +ELLIPSIS <__main__.C instance at 0x...> --- I think the recommendation should better be <__main__.C instance ...> except that 'instance' is now 'object' -- and *that* change must have broken much more that this one would. ---------- nosy: +terry.reedy _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue20636> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
