Nick Coghlan added the comment: Aye, it occurs to me now that introducing the implicit form trades a "write time" lookup (where you have to override the converter defaults explicitly), for a "read time" lookup (where you need to mentally add the defaults to understand the modified accept clause)
As a result, I think "explicit is better than implicit" wins, at least for now. If we decide after we have more experience that the repetition of the defaults when overriding them really is a problem, then it's possible to revisit that decision in the 3.6 time frame. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue24145> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
