I tried once to put *all* (most common) _Py_IDENTIFIER() in a single file and share them, but I abandoned my attempt: http://bugs.python.org/issue19515#msg202385 Antoine Pitrou: "Well, then IMHO it's not worth it." See issues #19512 and #19515. """ >>> import _ast >>> _ast.Dict.__dict__ mappingproxy({'_fields': ('keys', 'values'), '__module__': '_ast', '__doc__': None}) """ But the _ast module is not imported by default, only in programs importing "ast" explicitly. Well, I'm not opposed to the change, I'm just trying to understand how the code is used ;-) ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue29369> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
