Dávid Nemeskey <nemesk...@gmail.com> added the comment: I ran into the same problem. I know of the set_defaults() method, in fact, that is what I have always been using. But why was dest added if not to provide a better solution?
I agree that changing it would _perhaps_ break some code, so I agree that this issue cannot be "fixed" for Python 3.7 (and probably 3.8). But what about 3.9 or 4.0? BTW much higher profile backward-incompatible changes do happen in Python; take PEP 563 (https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0563/), for instance. ---------- nosy: +nemeskeyd _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue36664> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
