Because it "can produce significant data size overhead, although it does not affect execution" for C code. However it'd improves interoperability with C++, which I think it makes sense for a universal software like cpython. Or isn't interoperability with c++ a concern? I noticed you said that there are not tests for it currently, but I wonder the reason behind it. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue30910> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
