New submission from July Tikhonov: Documentation of Template says:
$identifier names a substitution placeholder matching a mapping key of "identifier". By default, "identifier" must spell a Python identifier. The first non-identifier character after the $ character terminates this placeholder specification. While it was true when these lines were written, Python 3 has greatly extended identifier character set, and it no longer matches the set of characters used by Template: >>> Template('$foo123щъ').substitute(foo=1, foo123=2, foo123щъ=3) '2щъ' I propose clarifying documentation. Actually extending character set is backward-incompatible, although it won't be if restricted to "${identifier}" syntax. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 244607 nosy: docs@python, july priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: string.Template documentation incorrectly references "identifiers" versions: Python 3.4, Python 3.5, Python 3.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue24351> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
