>What do you expect to gain with the "int = ''" statement? I did not expect anything. I made a mistake in my initial code and the error message indicated that I rebound 'str'. I could not find where I had used 'str' as a variable name. If it would have said 'int', as that was the function that I rebound as a variable name, I would have immediately known what to look for. I understand that it is mostly cosmetic, but I am sure I am not the first person that went down the wrong path because of this. I understand that I was using the variable named 'int' as a string and therefore referencing it as 'str' object is technically correct. However, I am still relatively new to Python, as many others are, and the the error message could be a bit more clear. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue42118> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
