R. David Murray added the comment: The change to the signature of set is backward incompatible and should have a deprecation warning instead (yes, I know it isn't documented). I'd even be OK with the value being ignored, but the signature shouldn't change.
There are a number of API/behavior changes noted in the NEWS which IMO need a versionchanged in the docs and an entry in whatsnew. ---------- status: closed -> open _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2211> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
