Francis Herne <m...@flherne.uk> added the comment: Note:
Because this also applies to module-level docstrings, a rather strange effect that, for example, `ast.parse("'foo'")` is now an empty module. While the root node is always an instance of `ast.Module`, in practice `ast.parse()` is often used with smaller fragments of source code that don't directly correspond to a complete module, and this behaviour makes no sense in such cases. The resulting bug in kdev-python took a while to track down (because I had no immediate reason to suspect this change), and will be somewhat awkward to workaround. I would prefer that this be reverted; it's likely to break a variety of users in strange ways. ---------- nosy: +flherne _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue32911> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
