Antoine Pitrou added the comment: I think distinguishing between the two situations would make the code yet more complicated (and fragile). It's a bit unfortunate that the `type` attribute has become a kitchen sink for disparate pieces of configuration.
The fact that you are the first to complain though it was introduced in 3.2 does not make it very compelling to change the current behaviour, IMHO. ---------- nosy: +haypo, neologix _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue21327> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
