Eric V. Smith <e...@trueblade.com> added the comment: The behavior used to be that we'd raise an error if you tried to overwrite a dunder method. Then we decided that the existence of a dunder method meant you didn't want it overwritten, so now we don't need to explicitly set a flag to False in that case.
However, we did not go back and see which of the flags still make sense. I can't think of a reason why anyone would use the `init` parameter to @dataclass. It's a little late in the 3.7 release cycle to remove it, so maybe we can decide to deprecate it in 3.8? Although if there's clearly no reason for it to exist, I could be talked in to removing it. We should probably go through every flag and decide about it individually. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue33539> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
