There's really no way we'd consider breaking possibly millions of working programs to change the parameter names. I guess you could come up with some way of supporting both sets of parameter names, but I doubt we'd accept that, either. While maybe in hindsight we should have chosen the parameter names that "ln -s" uses, that ship has sailed, and we'll have to live with it like it is. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue44837> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
