@eric.smith Fair enough, though the impact would probably be quite low in reality. Nobody seems to pass these args by keyword: https://github.com/search?q=%22os.symlink(src%3D%22&type=Code @steven.daprano My suggestion was changing the names of the args, not the order Current def os.symlink(src, dst): ln -s src dst Changing the names def os.symlink(dst, src): ln -s dst src Changing the order def os.symlink(dst, src): ln -s src dst I concede that different unixes have different argnames for ln, it's a bit of a mess. From a CS theory perspective, I think the GNU convention makes more sense. ---------- resolution: -> not a bug stage: -> resolved status: open -> closed _______________________________________ 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
