Raymond Hettinger <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: The breakage isn't from the patch. The problem would come from using a non-list iterable for __all__ which then breaks any other code that assumes __all__ is a list (the code is os is an example of how __all__ can get modified).
AFAICT, this proposal doesn't add value, but it does complicate life for those wanting to access/modify __all__ but can no longer make assumptions about its type (perhaps it is a generator that can be read just once and any accessor would kill it in the process of examining it). I don't see how this proposal adds value. It's just a random change that doesn't make life any better for coders. __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2928> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
