Terry J. Reedy added the comment: Except for *very* carefully considered security features for 2.7, we do not add new features to python x.y after initial release. The 2.7 security exception required a PEP, and I believe the PEP was limited to features specified in the PEP.
I would expect porting guides (or 2 & 3 guides) to cover this issue. Features added in 3.0 were considered for backporting to 2.7, which came out 18 months later. This one did not make the cut. ---------- nosy: +terry.reedy resolution: -> rejected status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue25466> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
