Nick Coghlan added the comment: Mark, we kinda proved we're willing to break backwards compatibility in the name of improving usability when we embarked down the path of creating Python 3 and an associated transition plan from Python 2, rather than just continuing to develop Python 2.
Compared to some of the backwards compatibility breaks within the Python 2 series that were handled using the normal deprecating cycle (removing string exceptions, anyone?), this one would be truly trivial. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13936> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
