I would suggest adding this to the what's new document https://docs.python.org/3.7/whatsnew/3.7.html. The change affects user-facing code (the exact_type attribute of TokenInfo is OP for ... and -> tokens prior to this patch). I would also point out that this directly contradicts the documentation (from https://docs.python.org/3/library/tokenize.html, "To simplify token stream handling, all operator and delimiter tokens and Ellipsis are returned using the generic OP token type. The exact type can be determined by checking the exact_type property on the named tuple returned from tokenize.tokenize()."), so I don't see why it can't be backported. ---------- nosy: +Aaron.Meurer _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue24622> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
